Old Citizens Bank
Fourth and Main
Historic Buildings of Evansville, Indiana

This skyscraper was built for Citizens National Bank (established 1873) in 1916, after the designs of William Lee Stoddart of New York, as Evansville’s first tall steel frame structure. Citizens Bank moved to a new building at 19 NW Fourth Street in 1959. This building has served under different names, as a multi-tenant office building since that time. A later owner renamed it the Commerce Building in order to utilize the logo found on the brass doorknobs on the upper floors which bear the initials of its original owner “C”itizens “B”ank.
