The German Bank Building, known also as Louisville Home Federal Building, is a historic building in Downtown Louisville, Kentucky, USA. It is located on the corner of Fifth and Market streets. The two-story structure was built in 1914 in a Beaux-Arts style with a limestone facade. In 1918, the name of the building was changed to Louisville National Bank. This was during World War I when many institutions changed names to avoid association with Germany.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, for its architecture.[1]
