NRHP Nomination Form

"Later buildings that depart from these 1- and 2-part commercial block forms include the Elgin National Bank building (site no. 64, photo # 7) built in 1923 with an enframed window wall pattern characterized by a large central section and continuous border.

The interest in the Beaux Arts in American commercial architecture at the time included more monochromatic, white and light-colored palettes, even for masonry structures, a trend reflected in the Elgin National Bank building on North Main Street (site no. 64, photo # 7). Designed by architect Hugo Franz Kuehne, construction began after the bank's original home on the southside burned down in 1923."
