Iowa State Bank, 1955
NE Corner of the Square

An excellent example of Streamline Moderne design, it replaced the old bank building in 1955.

The red lettering on the south side exterior is original, as is the clock, and the blond woodwork interior.

Another example of Streamline Moderne is the Fairfield High School at 605-607 East Broadway, although it is subdued. Completed in 1938 by the WPA, it replaced one that burned down.

See 1955 construction photos in the bank lobby.
