I was able to locate the history of this building from the City of Montague website and it reads:
Montague's Historic Preservation Committeee is working on a project to refurbish the old Bank Building. Built in 1906, it has also been Fire Hall, City Hall, Jail and Library. Renamed the Montague History Center, it is free to the public, schools and visitors. It houses books, puzzles, games and videos for exchange and also has a gift area with items to be sold for donation only to help pay expenses.
The public can browse through the files for local, county, state and US history and information, including obituaries from the surrounding small towns of Montague, Hilt, Henley, Hornbrook, Grenada, Gazelle, Big Springs and Happy Camp.
You can still see the jail bars on the windows. I don't know what the official name of the bank was here but I'm in the process of trying to find out from the history center staff. I'll post it here if/when I do.
