"The board of directors of the Fulton bank have accepted the plans of Giesey and Faris, the local architects, for the erection of a new banking building at the corner of Fifth street and the National road in Fulton. The building will cost about $10,000 and will be constructed of light colored buff brick with stone trimmings. The building will be two stories high and will be 50x54 feet.

"The first floor will be taken up with a banking room and a store room, and directors’ rooms will be built in the rear of the banking room.

"The second floor will be taken up with four office rooms and a large assembly hall, suitable for lodges or dances and the like. Giesey and Faris were given the power to ask for bids, which they will do as soon as they make a few desired changes in the plans and specifications. The building will be modern in every respect and will be equipped with the latest burglar proof safes."
