in July of 1975, construction had started on
the new First National Bank located on the corner of 2nd Avenue and
Main Street SW. White vertical pre-cast concrete panels formed the exterior
walls of the second and third floor. Each panel was 6 feet wide and 32 feet
tall. The two foot wide windows appear bronze from the outside. The main
entrance was next to a 60 –car parking lot and facing to the south. The lower
level contained a 1,906 square foot Safe Deposit Vault. The contractor was
Mattson construction. First National Bank eventually became Wells Fargo Bank. The
Bank moved to two smaller locations in Minot. The building in Downtown Minot
now sits empty awaiting the next phase of its existence.
