The Potters National Bank was organized in July 1881 in East Liverpool, Ohio. The first location was in a room on Second Street. The bank was successful and the directors soon purchased property at Broadway and Fourth streets where they built a two-story brick and stone building. The building was occupied by the bank in March 1901. This building housed the bank for nearly 25 years.
In 1924 the original building was torn down and the bank built and occupied a new, larger building. The bank directors purchased two additional lots to accommodate the new building (pictured). The newer building contained huge basement rooms, committee rooms, and a community room for the public. Construction of this building was begun and completed in 1925. The bank occupied this building on November 1925. Its total cost was $300,000.[2]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in November 1985.[1] The building was demolished in 2010.[3]
