The Milroy State Bank Building is located in the small town of Milroy, Minnesota at the intersection of Superior Street and Euclid Avenue (Minnesota State Highway 68). The building was a former community bank built in 1902 by a group of businessmen from Springfield, Minnesota. It is nearly identical to the Clements State Bank Building in Clements, Minnesota representing the commercial investment of outsiders in a string of towns platted on a new railroad line, the Minnesota Western Branch of Chicago and North Western Railway. [1]

The bank closed in 1930 and was used for several purposes including a doctors office, and a bank exchange. It was the post office of Milroy from 1951 until 1989 when a new post office was built. On August 11, 1980 the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places along with several other buildings in Redwood County, Minnesota. [4]

Throughout the years the building stood abandoned, sitting unheated and the roof had also collapsed. In 2009 a local, Sunny Ruthchild, purchased the building for around $1,000 and renovated it which included improvements to the roof, restoration of the floors, and the installation of high-efficiency windows and a geothermal heat pump. The upper part of the building is currently leased as an apartment and the lower part currently sits empty with plans to turn it into a small business such as a bakery or café. [5] [4]
