The Germantown State Bank is located in what is now the village of Garland, Nebraska. The original bank building was wooden and painted white with the word "Bank" on the front. The currently standing stone building was built in 1921, three years after Garland changed its name from Germantown.
The first owner on record was August C. Beckman, who acquired the bank from another in 1900. The bank closed sometime during the 1930s due to the many natural disasters affecting the area. Wm. Barrett Jr. took ownership of the bank in October 1939. The next recorded owner was Joe Pankoke, from 1978 until about 1989, when it was sold to Bob Rashel of California. Rashel died in 1998, and the bank was donated to the village of Garland in his memory.
The Germantown State Bank Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Work continues on its restoration.
