Bank of Poplar Bluff (Old)
Bank of Poplar Bluff (Old)
Early downtown banking establishment, replaced in 1914 by the Neo-Classical Bank of Poplar Bluff building at the same Main Street location.
The Story
The Bank of Poplar Bluff, located on Main Street, served as a principal downtown banking establishment in the early 1900s. The bank was replaced in 1914 by a new Bank of Poplar Bluff building constructed at the same location — a two-story Neo-Classical structure at 200 S. Main Street that still stands today.
City directory entries listing the Bank of Poplar Bluff after 1914 (such as the 1919 and 1929 editions) refer to this successor bank, not the earlier building.
