Text of historic marker on right side of building:
HISTORIC BUILDING 1893
124 FIRST ST.

This building was the home of the
Citizens State Bank from 1893-1943.
The assets were purchased and
incorporated into the Pleasant Hill
Bank. From 1943-58 it was a shoe
and dress shop. In 1958 it became a
liquor store for several years. Later
it was a small convenience store,
then an antique shop. The dates
on the building 1884-1913 are believed
to be the dates of the founding of
the bank(which had relocated here.)
and the remodeling in 1913.
Current owners are Fred and Connie Simmons.

DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION 1992


The building is in good repair and is unoccupied.
Date of Construction: c. 1880

This brick one-part commercial block has a rectangular footprint. The storefront fenestration includes a recessed entrance flanked by the original wood- and steel-framed plate glass windows. These windows rest on dressed limestone bulkheads. Surmounting the storefront is the original leaded glass transom window with operable hopper vents. A concave limestone molding frames the storefront. Above the limestone molding, dentillation and a central medallion embellish a flat limestone cornice. Flanking the limestone frame are brick pilasters distinguished by a scroll and garland motif at the top. Additional character-defining features include the peaked parapet wall; the peaked limestone sign panel with letters in relief that read, "Citizens Bank"; limestone panels on the base of each pilaster that read "1884" and "1913"; and the original wood-framed full-light entrance door and transom window.

This building retains a high degree of integrity and clearly conveys its historic associations. It is a contributing element to the historic district.
