Grand Valley National Bank - Grand Junction, CO - Converted Bank Buildings on Waymarking.com

Dates of Construction: 1910 and 1921

This is one of the most important, intact, original architectural exteriors in Grand Junction. The original part of the building, constructed in 1910 to replace a smaller stone bank on the same location, was the first section of the current building. It was constructed with ornate terra-cotta egg-and-dart motif pilasters and a projecting cornice, which was an unusual style for the area. Grand Valley National Bank closed during the Great Depression for a “bank holiday.” A re-organized First National Bank opened in 1934. The first Dalby Wendland business opened in one room in the building in 1949. The building houses many offices.

Fascinating Fact: The original north-south building along 5th Street was only two rooms and one hallway wide. A two-room wide addition facing Main Street was added in 1921. The seams where the two brick
sections meet can be seen from Main Street" (from (visit link) )
