The Bank of Rogers building opened in 1907. By 1918, the building was home to the Farmers State Bank. In 1937, the American National Bank moved to this location, followed by the First National Bank, which was at this location for 27 years. The Aswan red granite columns beneath a Romanesque arch were a sign to all that this was the local center of financial power in Rogers.
