A Council Grove landmark, the Farmers
and Drovers Bank is one of the community's most ornate buildings. The two-story
red brick bank with limestone trim was built in 1892 for $20,000. Its "eclectic" architecture
features Romanesque arches over stained glass windows and a Byzantine dome. The
bank continues to operate at this site, listed on the National Register of Historic
Places.
