Brick Saturday- Jewel Box Bank

Today is #bricksaturday for the #sevendaysoutside challenge by the lovely @erikah

The Merchants National Bank building in Grinnell, Iowa is one of the eight small town Midwestern "jewel-box" banks designed by legendary American architect, Louis Sullivan. Sullivan was a mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright.

The bank was constructed in 1914 for $60,000 and served as a bank until 1999. It is now used as the Grinnell Visitor Center.
