Kilgore, TX, United States
Kilgore National Bank Building. Led in the town's economic development following the 1930s oil boom. Prosperity in the midst of the Great Depression influenced the board of directors to build this structure in 1937. Designed by Henderson architect James L. Downing, who used art moderne and art deco
styling to project progress, it housed the bank until the 1970s. It now serves as a reminder of Kilgore's early business history. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1990 #9971
