The facade of this structure was reconstructed in its present gray granite Classical Revival style in 1912, when the National Bank of Denison moved into this building.

In 1928, the bank vacated this structure and merged with the State National Bank across the street.

Later this building became the Bear Drug, with professional offices upstairs.

Today it is Phil Shaffer's law office. The building retains the words carved in its frieze: 1890 The National Bank of Denison 1912
