Its quasi-octagonal form, octagonal lantern and lobby, and Arts and Crafts-influenced inglenook are noted as distinctive. No similar buildings were found in the community, township or county.","narrative":"Built in 1919-1920 at the corner of Main and Broad Streets in Glenford, Ohio, this one-story brick building served as a bank and community meeting space. Its clipped corners and octagonal lantern give the impression of an octagonal plan, and the interior centers on an octagonal lobby rising into the lantern, with a matching octagonal meeting room in the basement. Red brick walls, a slate roof and round-arched openings carry Classical Revival details such as pilasters, cornices, dentils, urns and fanlights. Inside, solid oak woodwork supplied from a nearby farm forms columns, teller stations and moldings, and the Director's Room has a brick inglenook reflecting the Arts and Crafts Movement. The bank incorporated in 1916, closed during the 1933 bank holiday period, and was liquidated by 1938, with creditors repaid in full. No designer or builder has been confirmed. The building was listed for its architecture, craftsmanship and unusually intact features, and it was being restored for residential use.","period_of_significance":"1919 - 1920","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Classical Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Bank operated until it closed in 1933 and sat vacant for many years; it was being rehabilitated as a single family residence at the time of nomination.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:15.039904-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/90000389.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000389/56743c31db-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000389/56743c31db-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Glenford_Bank.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Glenford_Bank.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71990862","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenford_Bank","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14716425"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/perry-county/glenford-bank-90000389/"}
