I don't own or have access to this postcard, so the design of the back is unknown. It appears to be from the same set as First Baptist Church. |

Notes:
Appears to be from the same set as First Baptist Church postcard.
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.
