I believe this First National Bank was built in the 1970s. I don't know if this was the original name of the bank. These mushroom canopies cover ATM machines. By 2015, the name had been changed to First Financial Bank. The building now houses the Education Personnel Federal Credit Union. [map]

This Iroquois Federal Savings & Loan may have been built in the 1960s or 1970s. [map]

former Citizens Bank [gone]
East Alton, IL
This Citizens Bank branch was designed by Alvin K. Stolze and built in 1964. The building was vacant when these photos were taken in 2010. The suspension bridge was meant to simulate the nearby Clark Bridge. There was originally water and fountains beneath it. Plans to demolish the building in 2016 were put on hold. The building was demolished in 2023. For more, see this website.
