Marble Rock Bank, also known as the Marble Rock Historical Society Building, is a historic building located in Marble Rock, Iowa, United States. New York native J.B. Shepardson settled in Marble Rock in 1864. He was involved in a number of ventures including running a store, a hotel, and land speculation. He and his brother S.E. Shepardson opened the Marble Rock Bank in 1873, and they had this building constructed in 1885. It is a single-story structure that features a stone facade, nine corbels that support a plain cornice, and a simple stone plaque that identified the building as a bank. The building survived two fires that destroyed much of the town in 1899, making this the oldest commercial building in town. [2] Banking operations moved from here in 1927, and the bank itself closed in 1932. The Marble Rock Historical Society, established in 1972, bought the building in 1974 for use as a museum. They have subsequently acquired other buildings that have been added to the museum complex. [3] The former bank building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. [1]
