Nominated for 2006 Historic Preservation Award.

BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 1952 AND WAS EXPANDED TO THE EAST IN 1967 USING THE SAME DESIGN AND MATERIALS. THE EXPANSION RESULTED IN THE DEMOLITION OF THE ORIGINAL BUILDING LOCATED AT 4 E. MAIN ST.

"Designed by Minneapolis architects A. Moorman & Company, the flat-roofed granite and cream brick Union Bank and Trust Company at 2 East Main dates from 1952, and is of compatible scale and setback in the block. The ornamentation on the brick frieze and symmetrical inset windows indicate some holdover influence of the Art Deco style. A 1967 addition to the east used the same design and materials, and doubled the bank's street frontage." Evansville Historic Preservation Commission, Historic Evansville Walking Tour brochure, 2014.
