former Gilldorn Savings Bank
Pawnee, IL
This former Gilldorn Savings Bank was built in 1984. The building was in use by the Pawnee United Methodist Church when these photos were taken in 2009. The bottom photo shows the tunnel where the drive-thru or ATM was. In 2016, the building was donated to the Village of Pawnee. After that, the building was cleaned up, some siding applied, and the dirt mounds removed. The building now houses the Pawnee Police Department. [map]
