Bank of Mansfield Building - Mansfield, TX - Converted Bank Buildings on Waymarking.com

A City of Mansfield Historic Landmark sign provides some history:

Built in 1895 as Mansfield's first banking firm and operated by Ed Rhines. Prior to this time financial services were provided by individual "money lenders" of which John L. Wyatt was the first of record in the Mansfield community. In 1897, the private banking firm was bought by J.H. Wright and reorganized with J.H. Wright, Pres., Joseph Nugent, Vice-Pres., and Joseph Edwards, Cashier. The Bank was chartered as the State Bank of Mansfield in 1906. J.H. Wright served as President until his death in 1942.

The Mansfield Historical Museum and Heritage Center will take you here on their Self-Guided Walking Tour #2 (see URL, site is currently being reworked), and they provide some complementary information:

This one-story building was built in 1895 as Mansfield’s first bank. J. H. Wright (1857-1942) organized the State Bank of Mansfield and was its president until his death. In 1960, when a new bank building was constructed, the old building was sold. Though altered, the original cornice is intact, and the safe is still inside. The building is a major contributor to the potential Main Street historic district by virtue of its architectural qualities, important role in Mansfield’s development, and its association with an important local citizen. With restoration, the building may be eligible for the National Register on an individual basis. This building is a registered Mansfield Historic Landmark.
