If your in town to see the Herbert Hoover Memorial, take a minute to visit the West Branch National Historic District.

This contributing Building is the Old West Branch State Bank, and is located at 101 W. Main Street.

The website at (visit link) tells us:

"This large brick structure, built in 1916, housed the West Branch State Bank (previously named West Branch Bank). It replaced a bank building (circa 1877) which stood on the same site, but was razed to make room for the new, larger building. The bank took temporary quarters across the street during construction. It then occupied this building until 1974. Fred Albin rented the back for his meat market until 1924. The West Branch Telephone Company shared the second floor with Hubbard & Hubbard Chiropractors".
