1933-07-06 Institution established: Original name:The First National Bank of Galena
1985-02-21 Change trust powers from TRUST POWERS NOT GRANTED to FULL TRUST POWERS GRANTED
1995-01-31 Changed name to Today's Bank-West (5739)
1995-01-31 Merged into and subsequently operated as part of Today's Bank-West (5739) in GALENA, IL
My guess is that prior to 7/6/1933, the bank was just known as Galena National Bank. It is unknown when, after all of the acquisitions and mergers, the bank actually left the building.
The building is now used for an art gallery at 317 and a quilt shop on 315.
