former bank
San Marcos, TX

2018:
2021:
This former bank housed a Frost Bank in recent years. The building housed the State Bank & Trust in the 1970s. The gold metallic screens were removed from the facade around 2017. In 2018, the building subdivided to create retail space. The orange glazed tile was covered with white paint. The building shown in the second rows above is the former Frost Bank motor bank which is just down the block. It was probably built in the 1960s at the same time as the main bank building. It was still vacant in 2021. [bank map]; [motor bank map]

Seguin Savings Association
Seguin, TX
The Seguin Savings Association building was built around 1962. The basement was constructed as a nuclear fallout shelter. I believe the bank closed in 1988. The building has housed the Seguin Chamber of Commerce since at least 2012. [map]

Texoma Savings Bank
Sherman, TX
This building was designed by Paul C. Ross as a Texoma Savings Bank. It opened in 1963. It had one of the first drive-thru tellers with air tubes. The building has been vacant for years. [map]

First United Bank
Sherman, TX
This First United Bank branch appears to be from the 1960s. I don't know what bank was here originally. [map]

West Texas State Bank Auto Teller [gone]
Snyder, TX
The West Texas State Bank Auto Teller was built in the late 1950s or early 1960s. The sign was backlit. Originally, there was just one lane. These photos are from 2006. By 2012, the building was gone.
