Featured in this circa 1920 city guide, notes from this mountain community bank are not common in large size and downright rare in small. The building still exists to my knowledge, but had been a photography shop in 1990.



Update 2011: The building at 23 Aspen Street is now home to the Pita Pit, a "Fresh Food" Restaurant (Photo: Daniel Greene)
