Its facade is pink Missouri granite in Romanesque style.","why_significant":"The nomination presents it as an important provincial work by the prominent Chicago firm Patton and Fisher, whose Richardsonesque design influenced local architects. The 1906 addition by Ernest M. Wood shows his mastery of that mode before he moved toward the Prairie School. It is also tied to the Bull brothers, Lorenzo and Charles H., local bankers and civic leaders.","narrative":"Built in 1892 at 428 Maine Street in Quincy, this bank building was enlarged in 1906 with a narrower addition. Both parts share a pink Missouri granite facade with Romanesque detail, and the craftsmanship in the two sections is nearly indistinguishable. The original has three bays with bold round arches. The addition has two bays. The bank grew from the enterprises of brothers Lorenzo and Charles H. Bull, who moved from hardware into banking and became leading civic figures, promoting a railroad line, the public library and the city's park system. Chicago architects Patton and Fisher designed the original, which encouraged Richardsonesque work by local architects. Ernest M. Wood directed the addition and showed his command of that style before turning toward the Prairie School. Restored from 1966 onward, the building now houses the Quincy Chamber of Commerce, exhibition and lecture space in the old banking room, and rentable offices, and has been cited in publications on adaptive use.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899, 1900-","architect_builder":"Patton and Fisher; Ernest M.
