Love this! God bless his cantankerous soul: The 1893 Columbian Exposition set architecture back 50 years, indeed. The arch with the blue is striking, and The Old Home reminds me a little of The Gage building, with its stems that rise up and burst into flora. https://www.loc.gov/resource/hhh.il0056.photos/?sp=2
Isn't it great. I just happened across it. We'd been driving and decided to stretch our legs at an antique mall in downtown. We got out and I looked across the street and kind of did a double take. I thought.....waaaaaiiiiiiitt. Sure enough, as I walked toward it I could see the plaques on it saying it was Sullivan. Just stunning.
Fascinating. I love the architecture of old buildings and the stories behind them. Great photos; thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Glenn. Tracking down these banks one by one has been fun. Gotta figure what's next on my list!
I love the banks (especially the blue)!!!!! Thank you for sharing them.

Yes, and the Clinton Iowa depart store!
Wow, that one's the best, with the green terra cotta!

Looking forward to the recipe for the muffins. Seeing the world through the wanders you & Ernie take is a wonderful experience. Thank you.
