History:
Originally planned to be a three-story building, the plans were changed to five-stories after the bank officials learned of a five-story bank under construction in Longview.

Construction was completed in 1913 and on January 1, 1914, First National Bank moved into the building. In 1961 the bank was demolished and a new structure was built on the opposite corner of the intersection.
