Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The Thompson Station Bank was constructed in 1913 to serve as a bank for the community of Thompson Station. The bank formally opened in 1914 as the Thompson Station Bank and Trust Company with [$]7,500 in capital stock.…

After 1920, declining farm prices began to erode the town's commercial base. The growing use of automobiles also made access easier to banks in Franklin and in Spring Hill. Because of these factors the bank continued to lose customers and assets. On April 1, 1927, the bank was voluntarily liquidated by the Williamson County Banking and Trust Company.
