Donley County State Bank

Description

The Donley County State Bank was chartered on November 9, 1906. The original site of the bank was on the corner of Kearney and First Streets where the old Donley Hotel facade still stands. The original officers were H. D. Ramsey, president; P. R. Stephens, vice president; and Wesley Knorpp, cashier. The first Directors of the bank included Thomas S. Bugbee, John C. Knorpp, Wesley Knorpp, H. D. Ramsey, P. R. Stephens, C. T. McMurtry and J. L. McMurtry. The Donley County State Bank moved to its present location at the corner of Kearney and Second Street in January of 1917 and it was at this time the oak motif was replaced with marble counters and tellers' cages. In May of 1956, The Donley County State Bank temporarily moved across the street into what was the recently vacated First National Bank Building while a complete remodel of the bank was done. The renovation included a new floor plan with additional office space, a plate glass front and new entrance, a walk-up teller window on the north side of the building, and the addition of a limestone and roman brick edifice. The bank moved back into the newly remodeled building in September 1956.
