Its first location was a temporary quarters at Main St. and Water St.(Riverside) In 1835 it moved into a new building and was renamed Old National Bank in 1883. In 1916 it moved to the location shown, and in 1927 was altered/modernized (the view here is thought to be pre-1927) The bank moved again in 1970 and this building was razed. Old National Bank still exists today. Hotel Lincoln was at 8 NW 5th St., formerly 213 Upper 5th St. / 424-8 Main St. It was built around 1900 and in 1916 expanded to front Main St. (This postcard pre-dates that.) The hotel closed sometime around 1942 and the building was razed in 1967.
