A hotel and a First National Bank share one street corner in this view, a pairing that shows how commercial life clustered at busy intersections in the Victorian era. Many American towns of that period had a "First National Bank," a name taken from the national banking system created during the Civil War, so the building may have been among the earliest institutions of its kind in its town. Hotels on such corners often housed a bar or saloon on the ground floor, which is why the image appears among taverns and saloons.
