Inscription.
This building was the home of the Citizens State Bank from 1893-1943. The assets were purchased and incorporated into the Pleasant Hill Bank. From 1943-58 it was a shoe and dress shop. In 1958 it became a liquor store for several years. Later it was a small convenience store, then an antique shop. The dates on the building 1884-1913 are believed to be the dates of the founding of the bank (which had relocated here.) and the remodeling in 1913.

Current owners are Fred and Connie Simmons.
