New Bank Building Trophy of Estherville Growth
The First National Bank in Estherville quietly occupied its new two story mahogany and marble home, praised as one of the Northwest Iowa’s most substantial structures. A formal dedication is expected in about sixty days as construction began in 1917 and delayed by freight congestion. The vault and safety deposits, offices for president and cashier, directors room, ladies’ rest room, and public reading area highlight the modern, secure facility.
