Mississippi County Bank

In a spot once home to the Mercantile Opera House, this Classical Revival-style building was built in 1936 as Mississippi County Bank, showcasing Italian marble and rich wood throughout. Continuing to finance farming interests, First National Bank, then, Union Planters Bank operated here until 2006, when City Hall relocated.
