Peoples Savings Bank
Peoples Savings Bank, Bank building in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The Peoples Savings Bank features brick walls in fifteen different shades and glass clerestory walls displaying murals of rural Iowa life.
Louis Sullivan designed this bank in 1911 as part of his series of small banks constructed throughout the Midwest between 1907 and 1919.
The structure earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and later became part of the West Side Third Avenue Commercial District.
The building underwent modifications after the 2008 Cedar River flood, leading to the closure of the main facility while maintaining operations at the motor bank.
Sullivan designed the exterior brick pattern to create a visual effect similar to textile patterns, incorporating detailed terra cotta decorative elements.
