Marion County State Bank

-A A +A
c. 1970. Southeast corner of Main and Independence streets

An auto-oriented bank building is here clad as a windmill, or perhaps one should say that a windmill has been placed upon the top of a bank building. The detailing of the building itself—including large-scale roof brackets, diamond-paned windows, and wood paneling—carries on the general theme of historic nineteenth-century architecture.
