Description

Bank of Sturgeon Bay - 1938. The building was located at 201 North Cedar Street (now 211 North 3rd. Ave.), Sturgeon Bay. The Bank of Sturgeon Bay moved to this new two-story, grey limestone office building on the corner of North Cedar and St. John streets (now 3rd. and Kentucky) on Dec. 29, 1900. It served as the headquarters for the Bank of Sturgeon Bay for 54 years. It was designed by local architect Fred D. Crandall and it's style is classified today as Richardsonian Romanesque, largely due to it's round-arched windows and entrance ways. The clock tower was removed in 1939. Scofield Hardware is on the right and wraps around to another entrance on Kentucky Street. Paul's Nautical Inn can be seen on the far left.

General Notes

Note

Notes: This was one of a number of photos chosen for inclusion in an exhibit of some of the architectural drawings of local architect, Fred D. Crandall at the Miller Art Center. The photos were matched with Crandall's drawings of the buildings. The architectural drawings were from the early 1900's and were submitted for a building project or an addition to an existing building. It is not known if Crandall was the final architect in each project. The photos and the drawings in this exhibit were mounted for display. The photos that were in this display were removed from their mountings because the plastic covering the mounted photos was sticking to the photos. Status: OK
