The American National Bank built a 2-story building here in 1917. In 1953 the American National Bank and Baxter National Bank merged and became the American Bank at this location.

The bas relief tile mural by Texas artist Paula Collins depicts the city's history. She used terra-cotta clay and sculpted the scenes in individual tiles that were fired and then fitted together. Look for the Route 66 Shield tiles.

The Historic Marker near the entrance on Military talks about 1868 Brewster House Hotel that occupied this site before the bank.
