Shawneetown Bank, located in Old Shawneetown, is the oldest structure in Illinois built specifically as a bank. Constructed in 1840 during Shawneetown's commercial heyday, the Greek Revival structure housed banking operations for more than a century. The bank closed its doors in 1942 and was deeded to the State of Illinois. Today it is managed by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency as Shawneetown Bank State Historic Site.......(1622394350)
