Local History of building:
"In 1891, a new public schoolhouse replaced the
original 1860's structure in Block 23, and circa 1905, a
small Post Office was built (INV #45). The Bank of Augusta,
organized in 1902, located in a new building (now greatly
altered) on the southeast corner of Walnut and Public
Streets. By 1900, plans were under discussion to bring
telephone service to Augusta.
"An example
of a non-contributing historic building which has lost
integrity through radical alterations is the 1902 former bank
building at 5!542 Walnut." ~ Final Report: Survey of Augusta, Missouri, by Mary M. Stiritz, 1991
