Now known as Larson's this building was erected around 1903 as two separate buildings, with the Trader's bank on the lower floor of the right hand (north) building. In about 1907 the two buildings were joined together. The caption of the photo below doesn't indicate how long the bank remained in the building.

Traders Bank
The large two-story Larson's building has undergone extensive remodeling over the years and is currently being redesigned once again [1984]. The second story retains much of the original design, however, with a decorative brick cornice and light tan brick lintels over the segmentally arched openings. The pairs of double-hung sash windows have been replaced with four vertical panes and a sloped sill. The structure was originally erected ca. 1906 as two small one-story brick buildings. These were joined about 1907 by a second story that tied the two buildings into a unified whole.
