Bank of Searcy oldest banking institution

White County's Oldest Banking Institution

Look at this old picture that was in the 1936  White County Centennial Edition of The Daily Citizen and White County Citizen.  It is a drawing of White County's oldest bank with three tiny vehicles in the street.  Let's see what it looks like now.  It is at the corner of Arch and Spruce on the Court Square of Searcy AR.

I drove by there this morning and snapped this picture.  Looks as if it has lost some of the trim at the top of the building.  We have gained paved streets, fireplugs, street lights, sidewalks with handicapped accessibility, and garbage pickup.  The building still has class but has not been a bank in a long, long time.

I am glad it is still a part of our town.

Hi Barbara - I appreciate when older historic buildings become re-purposed for today.  Time marches on!  I know in a "perfect" world the building would be a bank but it's good to see that it is still standing.

James, I am not sure but someone said it is to become a coffee shop.

I'm glad to see the bank today looks nearly identical to how it was pictured in the past.  And, it is still standing.  In Sacramento, we have lost several of our historic landmarks to "progress."
