Natrona County Library not moving into the First Interstate Bank Building.

Casper's Natrona County Public Library was apparently considering moving into the First Interstate Bank Building which the bank is apparently moving out of as it is for sale, but the structure, in spite of being considerably more modern than the older part of the Natrona County Library, will not support the weight of the book collection.

First National Bank of Meeteetse, Meeteetse Wyoming.

This is obviously not a painted building, but this small brick building which now serves as a museum does provide a nice example of early 20th Century ornamental brick work.  The small bank was built in 1901.  It is typical for small town banks of this period.

This is the First National Bank Building in Rock Springs, Wyoming.  This structure, no longer in use as a bank, was built in 1917.

Bank of America Center, Houston Texas

I hardly know what to make of this structure, which is somewhat out of place on this blog.  In taking this photograph, I actually wondered if the lower part of this very large building was a church.  It isn't, its the Bank of America Center.

Abandoned buidlings in the historic district of Rock Springs, Wyoming: National Bank and "Fountain . . ."

A couple of old building in Rock Spring's historic district, across from the class Union Pacific depot.  The building on the left is the National Bank building, and was built in 1892.  The one on the right has much of its "ghost signs" painted out, so I'm not sure of its identity, but it's number 18 on the historic district tour.

Not all of the buildings in the historic district are in this condition, I should note.
