Inscription.
The First State Bank Building was built on the site of the first Ravalli County Courthouse.

It is a well-preserved example of the classical-revival commercial style of early 20th century architecture.

The First State Bank significantly contributed to the prosperity of the local farming community.

Organized at the time of growth, the First State Bank building is an enduring symbol of long-term community stability.
