Built in 1870, the Farmer's National Bank Building is listed as a Contributing Building ("CBD #35 / Property #124") in the original Brenham Downtown Historic District NRHP nomination form -- see:

Per the
Downtown Brenham Historic District Walking Tour PDF pamphlet (tour stop #14):
"This building was originally built in 1870 as a mercantile store and was renovated for the Farmers National Bank in 1916. The original building on this site had a second-story ballroom where community dances were held. Legend has it that a fight was started here in 1866, that led to Federal troops burning much of the Downtown area."
