203 W Main

1915 - SECURITY NATIONAL BANK

Neo-Classical
The all stone two-story facade has a deeply recessed wall plane, with an upper level bay, with pronounced square- 
cut end wall stone pilasters, and a pedimented and denticulated cap placed on front of a square cut parapet front. 
The lower half of the facade has been replaced with a very distinctive Carrara glass front. 
This was the second bank to close during the Great Depression.  The Security National Bank closed just three 
months to after the first bank failure, closing on March 15,  1931.  It was not reorganized and stood empty on West 
Main Street for years before it became a bakery.
