"The First National Bank Building is a nine-story, steel frame and brick construction, built on a concrete foundation and faced in stone. The bank building features stylistic details evoking the Renaissance Revival, a style that combines classical precedents with forms more strictly associated with the sixteenth century Italian Renaissance. In this building the historic elements of the style, namely the use of Roman-arched openings, fluted pilasters, and classical frieze, are combined with the technological advances of the Chicago School. The result is a restrained and elegant version of what Svendsen (MRA 1983) describes as a 'tall office building.' While the form of the First National Bank Building is restrained, the applied decoration is not. Stone relief panels, the content of which addresses patriot and agrarian motifs, cover the spandrels of the arched openings, and the wall surface of the barrel vaulted entrance. Similar panels of bronze are located over the door of the primary entrance. " www.qcmemory.org. This building is currently known as the US Bank Building and was built in 1923.
