The Exchange Bank is a historic bank building located in Golden, Adams County, Illinois, United States. The Italian Renaissance style bank was built in 1891 for Harm Emminga. Harm was the son of Henrich Emminga, a German immigrant who had started a prosperous milling business in Golden; Harm continued his father's business by building both a new grain elevator and the new bank. The bank was originally an office building for the mill, as its offices had historically loaned and held money for clients, but it soon developed into the town's main bank. The building also housed the town's newspaper, the New Era. In 1905, the bank moved to a new building in downtown Golden, and by the 1920s it had become a prosperous business affiliated with larger regional banks in Quincy; however, it closed in 1930, a victim of the Wall Street Crash of 1929. [2]

The bank was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 12, 1987. It is one of two sites on the National Register in Golden, along with the Ebenezer Methodist Episcopal Chapel and Cemetery.

The district includes 35 buildings, 25 of which are contributing buildings, along Collinsville Avenue, Missouri Avenue, and St. Louis Avenue; all but one of the buildings was historically used for commercial purposes. While development in the area dates back to the late 19th century, the first of the extant buildings in the district were built around 1900 after a tornado devastated the area in 1896. By 1910, the area had become a prosperous commercial district with stores, offices, and entertainment venues; surviving buildings from this period include the Murphy Building and the Cahokia Building. Another large building boom took place in the 1920s, adding buildings such as the Spivey Building, the city's only skyscraper; the Union Trust Bank Company Building, the largest bank in the city; the Grossman Building; and the Majestic Theatre. The new buildings both coincided with a population and economic expansion in the city and allowed it to forge an architectural identity distinct from neighboring St. Louis.

Missouri Lumber and Mining Company United States historic place

The Missouri Lumber and Mining Company (MLM) was a large timber corporation with headquarters and primary operations in southeast Missouri. The company was formed by Pennsylvania lumbermen who were eager to exploit the untapped timber resources of the Missouri Ozarks to supply lumber, primarily used in construction, to meet the demand of U.S. westward expansion. Its primary operations were centered in Grandin, a company town it built starting c. 1888. The lumber mill there grew to be the largest in the country at the turn of the century and Grandin's population peaked around 2,500 to 3,000. As the timber resources were exhausted, the company had to abandon Grandin around 1910. It continued timber harvesting in other parts of Missouri for another decade. While some of the buildings in Grandin were relocated, many of the remaining buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as part of the state's historic preservation plan which considered the MLM a significant technological and economic contributor to Missouri.
