By Seeker
Farmers' State Bank is a historic building in Volga, Iowa, showcasing Beaux-Arts architecture. Completed in 1912, it features elegant design elements such as an elliptical-arch window and Ionic granite columns. The bank played a crucial role in the town's early 20th-century agriculture and railroad economy. Surviving economic downturns, it merged with another local bank in 1931 and later served various community functions, including a public library and city hall. It was operational as a bank until 2015 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018, making it a notable site for tourists and researchers interested in local history and architecture.
