The Negaunee State Bank Building is a bank building located at 331 Iron Street in Negaunee, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]

History

The lot on which the Negaunee State Bank Building currently sits was previously home to the Old Bank Building, constructed in 1873. The Old Bank Building was destroyed by fire on January 3, 1912.[2] The current building was constructed on the site during the same year.[2] The building housed the Negaunee State Bank until 1933, when the bank failed during the Great Depression.[2]

Description

Like the original Old Bank Building, the Negaunee State Bank Building has a triangular footprint, measuring 62 feet along the north (Iron Street) side, 102 feet along the southwest (Kanter Street) side, and 84 feet along the east wall side.[2] The building consists of two stories, plus a basement intended for commercial space. The structure is framed of wood, with brick facing, siting atop a stone foundation.[2]
