"This building was once used as the Rosebud bank; it is now used as the Rosebud Post Office.

"The Rosebud Post Office was originally used as the Rosebud Bank. It is an interesting building of an unusual plan shape. Both windows and doors are arched and have segmental arches and lug sills; there is a brick belt design running along the frieze of the building. This building has a flat roofllne. The Rosebud Post Office is a highly modified version of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture." ~ DNR Historical Survey,   PDF pages 581-584


"Several businesses were in operation in Rosebud during the following years. Among them were a lumber yard, blacksmith shop, two general stores, a hotel, a mill, café, a telephone office, saloon, bank and garages. Clay mining became an important aspect of Rosebud, which continues today.

"The Bank of Rosebud closed in 1932 during the depression, never to reopen. The lumber yard, blacksmith, hotel, mill, telephone office and general stores are also memories. Other businesses continue to flourish. Two Ford dealers are located in Rosebud, Ford-New Holland farm implements, owned and managed by Jim Estes’ family, Betty, John and Matt; and Wehmeyer Motor Company, run by the Wehmeyer brothers, Jim, Charles and Roy." ~ Gasconade County Historical Society
