Lincoln National Bank
Lincoln National Bank, Neoclassical bank building in Hamlin, United States
Description
The Lincoln National Bank at 219 Main Street displays neoclassical features including stone pilasters, a temple-like front, and a sloping cornice that extends across two stories. The structure shows the balanced proportions typical of early 20th-century financial buildings.
History
The building arose during the 1907 oil and gas expansion in Lincoln County and operated as a bank until its sale to the Masonic lodge in 1961. This ownership change marked a shift in how the space served the community.
Culture
The building mixed business and community life on different levels, with banking downstairs and membership meetings for the Masonic lodge happening upstairs.
Practical
The building sits on Main Street and is visible from the street, making its neoclassical details easy to observe from outside. Interior access depends on current use and should be checked beforehand.
Did you know?
After banking operations closed, the first floor became a police station starting in the 1960s and remained so through the 1980s. This change showed how historic buildings adapted to serve different community needs over time.
