A new bank, the Millington National Bank, was formed in 1927 and purchased the former Bank of Millington building in 1929. However, the Millington National Bank failed in 1933. The building housed a medical practice from 1938 to 1948, served as the public library from 1952 to 1972, and housed a photo studio and card shop from 1972 to 1995. After this, the building was refurbished to house the Millington-Arbela Historical Society's museum. (Submitted on January 4, 2019, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
