Farmers and Merchants Union Bank
Farmers and Merchants Union Bank, National Historic Landmark bank building in Columbus, United States.
The Farmers and Merchants Union Bank features a two-story structure with brick and terracotta exterior adorned with marble trim and stained glass windows.
Constructed in 1919, this building represents the final installment of eight small banks designed by architect Louis Sullivan during the early twentieth century.
The bank's architecture demonstrates the evolution of American commercial design, incorporating detailed ornamental elements that influenced subsequent banking institutions across the Midwest.
