Louis Sullivan was a Chicago based architect who, in his later years, became widely known for his small town bank architecture. Most of his small bank design efforts still exist and are on the National Historic Landmark list.
One is located in Grinnell, Iowa. We made a point to swing by the town and check out his work.
You can compare this one to another example we found in Owatonna, Minnesota using this link:
