The was Baxter State Bank was formed in 1905 and by 1910 it had become successful enough that it needed more space and the construction of this building filled that need. The bank continued to grow and by 1928, it was commonly called the “Million Dollar Bank”. Continued success eventually led the bank to move move again, this time to a new building at 1401 Military Ave.
