Shaknis in the Georgian Revival style. The original building has a gabled single-story banking hall at the front and a two-story flat-roofed office block at the rear. Details include Flemish bond brickwork, limestone trim, gauged brick flat arches, multilight wood sash windows and an elaborate pedimented stone entrance surround. Inside, the original columned banking hall survives. An original brick and iron fence runs along the sidewalk. Additions were made in 1963 and around 1980, along with a drive-in teller building. The bank was founded in 1876, and this building replaced a 1906 structure demolished in 1930. It was listed as the village's most authentic and elaborately detailed Georgian Revival design, among five notable institutional buildings of the 1920s and 1930s.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect: Alfred C.
