First National Bank Building

Boundary/Address:
1001 O Street

Designation:
National Register

Architect/Engineer:
Hyland & Green, architects

Year Built:
1910

First National Bank was Lincoln's first federally chartered bank in 1871 and was one of the few local banks to survive the turbulent 1890s. In 1910 the bank replaced its 1870's building on the southeast corner of 10th and O Streets with an eight-story, steel-frame structure, designed by the Chicago architects Hyland and Green. For half of a decade the Commercial Style structure was Lincoln's tallest office building, until it was superceded by two ten-story structures in 1915 and 1916. (See Security Mutual Building and Terminal Building.) It remains a handsome example of the national influence of Chicago architecture.
