Henry County Savings Bank is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. Because this two story, brick Italianate structure was built specifically as a bank, it features a chamfered corner, which was commonly used to designate a bank in the last quarter of the 19th century. [2] Other features typical of an Italianate commercial building include segmental arched windows, a corbeled brick frieze, and a bracketed metal cornice. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. [1]

John Bell Block United States historic place

The John Bell Block, also known as the German Bank & Trust Building, is a historic building located in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. The three-story brick commercial Italianate building was constructed by local businessman John Bell in 1886. Its location on the north side of the central business district meant that it housed several businesses owned by the city's German immigrant population. Chief among them was the German Trust and Savings Bank. It became a tenant when the building was completed and it remained until it built its own building in 1922. In 1918 anti-German sentiments that resulted from World War I forced the bank to change its name to Union Trust and Savings Bank. It remained in operation until 1932 when a run on its deposits as a result of the Great Depression forced it to fail. Its building was taken over by Dubuque Bank and Trust. Three prominent Dubuque professionals also had offices on the second floor of the building. German-born architect Martin Heer had offices beginning in 1888. He partnered with another German-born architect, Guido Beck, from 1889 to 1895. Beck was noted for his commercial blocks and churches. Contractor Anton Zwack had offices here from 1911 to c. 1965. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.

First National Bank (Mount Pleasant, Iowa) United States historic place

First National Bank is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. The bank was first located on this corner in the 1860s.

Hyland in the Neoclassical style. It is unique in Mount Pleasant in that it is the only stone building facing the square, and it reflects more of a public building instead of a commercial building. It is similar in style to the Henry County Courthouse, which is diagonally across the square. The exterior of the primary and secondary facades is composed of ashlar limestone and features paired pilasters on the corners of the primary facade, and a single column in the Corinthian order that flank the main entrance.

National State Bank (Mount Pleasant, Iowa) United States historic place

The metal cornice has widely spaced brackets on the primary facade and more typically spaced on the secondary facade.
