INTRODUCTION 
 
 f I y HIS BOOKLET, Volume 4 of the Indiana Limestone Library, Series “B, M 
 is written to be read—straight through. It is not an advertisement in the 
 ordinary sense of the term, so much as a clear-cut and coherent statement of 
 indisputable facts about one of the recognized standard building materials for 
 banks, together with certain facts relating to the design of Bank Buildings. 
 
 If your institution contemplates building, it wants facts, and we would suggest, 
 first, a straight-through reading of the text, which is brief, and, we trust, interest¬ 
 ing; second, an examination of the Indiana Limestone buildings in your locality, 
 especially the Banks, which can probably be found by reference to the classified 
 list that we have included in back of this Volume for your convenience; third, 
 a consultation with your architect on the merits of natural stone for Banks and 
 an inspection of the samples of Indiana Limestone, which you will doubtless find 
 on file in the office of any first class architect. 
 
 These things done, we believe that your decision to use Indiana Limestone 
 will be automatic and will result in immediate as well as permanent satisfaction. 
 
 For more specific information regarding the grades, color-tone, texture and 
 structural characteristics of this fine Natural Stone, the reader is referred to 
 Volume 1 of this same series of Association publications on Indiana Limestone. 
 
 The Indiana Limestone Quarrymen’s Association will be pleased to answer 
 any specific questions regarding the grades, finishes, uses, etc., and proper methods 
 of detailing, or to render any service which its facilities afford, to assist architects 
 and prospective builders in obtaining the desired results. 
 
 Samples of the Stone to illustrate the color, texture and finishes will be cheer¬ 
 fully furnished to architects or builders desiring same, and to Bankers when the 
 occasion requires it. 
 
 Standard Specifications for the handling, cutting and setting of Indiana 
 Limestone, data on setting mortars, etc., also other technical information that 
 is now available and of interest to architects and builders, will be cheerfully 
 furnished.

 called “The Nation’sBuilding Stone.” 
 The present almost universal use of 
 this fine natural building stone for all 
 sorts of buildings of the better class 
 would appear to make the latter descrip¬ 
 tive title even more appropriate than 
 the former, which its beauty and its ex¬ 
 tensive use for the finest monumental 
 buildings also fully justifies.

 ability and consequent economy, is per¬ 
 fectly adapted for the construction of 
 Bank Buildings and in fact, will, upon 
 careful investigation be found unequaled 
 and unapproached for this purpose. 
 
 Far more than any other type of 
 commercial structure, a bank building is 
 a monument—a monument not only to 
 the success and soundness of the insti¬ 
 tution itself, but to the whole com¬ 
 mercial fabric of the community that 
 supports it — a vital part of all enter¬ 
 prise with which it has relations. 
 
 The community, perhaps subcon¬ 
 sciously, recognizes this fact and expects, 
 as it has a right to expect, that the

 building which houses this index to its 
 commercial life shall be a fine and digni¬ 
 fied structure, a symbol of its substance 
 and a distinct addition to its archi¬ 
 tecture. 
 
 In living up to this expectation, a 
 bank serves its own interests to the 
 highest degree. To the average mind 
 the symbol is the thing. If the “report 
 of condition” shows the right figures, an 
 Indiana Limestone front is of no im¬ 
 port to the analytical mind. True — but 
 how many analytical minds does the 
 banker encounter in a day’s work, especi¬ 
 ally among average depositors? Is it 
 the analytical mind that proposes the 
 impossible requests that every banker 
 daily listens to? No—and to the aver¬ 
 
 age mind the building is the bank. 
 A fine, substantial building makes the 
 same impression in the street that a 
 statement which promises a generous 
 dividend makes in the directors’ room. 
 
 There is no doubt of this. The fact 
 is so generally recognized by wise bankers 
 that it scarcely merits the discussion we 
 have given it. Even for small branch 
 banks, or small banks in which the cost 
 of building is of paramount importance, 
 the value of a somewhat monumental, 
 or suitable type of architectural expres¬ 
 sion is generally recognized and when 
 built of Brick, a natural stone and quite 
 generally Indiana Limestone, is used 
 for the architectural features which con¬ 
 stitute the trim.

 In further substantiation of these 
 statements, we quote the following ex¬ 
 tracts from an article on the subject of 
 Bank Buildings, by Mr. Alfred Hopkins, 
 an eminent Architect of New York, 
 which appeared in the January 1922 issue 
 of the “Architectural Forum.” 
 
 SOME IDEAS ON BANK BUILDINGS— 
 ARTISTIC AND PRACTICAL 
 
 To the architect with imagination the 
 possibilities offered by the bank building for 
 noble and appropriate architecture should make 
 an instant appeal. The influence of the bank 
 on the daily life of the community is continually 
 increasing, and it is not too much to say that 
 just as the church stands for the highest ideals 
 in the spiritual life, so the bank seeks to elevate 
 and maintain them in the business and social 
 life of the community. The bank is, therefore, 
 becoming more and more the place where good 
 counsel may be obtained, where practical help 
 for the sound enterprise is given, and, in the 
 larger institution, where records and informa¬ 
 tion that will assist the business man in 
 maturing his judgment are kept, tabulated and 
 freely distributed. *********

 Such in brief is the distinguished posi¬ 
 tion of counselor and friend which the bank 
 has come to occupy in the community. 
 
 —which article further states 
 
 THE BANK A PUBLIC INSTITUTION 
 
 As the bank is a public institution its 
 most appropriate architectural expression is to 
 be found in the classical style, but that does 
 not mean the tasteless iteration and reitera¬ 
 tion of pediments, columns, arches and the 
 general jumbling of classical motives. * * * 
 ****** Noble architecture is the 
 bank’s greatest asset so far as its house is con¬ 
 cerned. Taste and refinement should be in its 
 every feature, and it has many features which 
 may be treated originally and appropriately. * 
 
 On the other hand, a Bank Build¬ 
 ing is necessarily a commercial building 
 and unlike so many monumental build¬ 
 ings, sound investment value—perma¬ 
 nently sound investment value—is an im¬ 
 portant factor to the Banker along with 
 the necessary structural qualities and 
 the very desirable factor of appearance.

 Cost, and by that we mean first cost, is 
 really an item of consideration with the 
 Banker, although cost alone should 
 never be the deciding factor. 
 
 The Bank official as a custodian of 
 public trust, must justify his investment, 
 not only for the present, but for years 
 to come. Therefore, lest it be inferred 
 from the foregoing that it is a carefully 
 prepared preamble to justify the use of 
 a costly material, let it be stated that 
 this is not the case — quite the contrary. 
 
 Indiana Limestone does not cost 
 anywhere near what it looks as 
 though it should cost —probably not 
 anywhere near what you think it costs. 
 
 In fact, Indiana Limestone satis¬ 
 fies this requirement of cost the best of 
 any appropriate material; it is, under all 
 normal circumstances, the most moder¬ 
 ate in cost of any material that can 
 really be considered to satisfy every 
 requirement of a Bank Building. 
 
 This is one of the reasons we have

 for saying that Indiana Limestone is 
 singularly adapted to the Bank Build¬ 
 ing. Its use is never an extravagance 
 but always a sound investment. 
 
 The Banker will probably be more 
 ready to grant the special value of an 
 Indiana Limestone Bank Building, if 
 he will refer to his own banking experi¬ 
 ence. In making loans on real estate 
 security, any Banker would as a matter 
 of course take very favorable notice of 
 
 the fact that a proposed security was 
 built of natural stone, and especially 
 Indiana Limestone, for he would know 
 at once that its imposing appearance, 
 the intrinsic quality and permanence 
 of such a building made it more val¬ 
 uable collateral. No doubt you, Mr. 
 Banker, have done this very thing in 
 actual practice, and need not therefore, 
 be reminded that the same logic ap¬ 
 plies to your own building.

 Indiana Limestone Bank. Buildings are a civic asset 
 
 The Bank illustrated on this page is considered to be an excellent example of small Bank front in 
 Mid-Western city, possessing as it does a commanding importance and dignity. 
 
 The street on which this Bank is located, together with the Bank, is shown in perspective on the 
 opposite page, in order to illustrate how this Bank, or any suitably designed Bank built of Indiana Lime¬ 
 stone, will dominate its environment. 
 
 The illustration shows clearly how this fine small building stands out, arresting the attention of the 
 passerby by announcing itself as the home of an important local institution. 
 
 This illustration so fully sustains the statements made in our argument regarding the real value of 
 a properly designed Bank building of Indiana Limestone, as a sound investment and business asset, that 
 further comment seems unnecessary.

 Note hou) Bank dominates the block an d sets an architectural example for others to follow. 
 
 There is still another phase of the 
 investment value of Indiana Lime¬ 
 stone which will appeal to the growing 
 institutions. Since this beautiful stone 
 does not deteriorate with age, its salvage 
 value is very high, probably the highest 
 of any building material. When an 
 architect specifies this material he does 
 so with the assurance that the building 
 may be harmoniously altered or added 
 to, even at a somewhat distant date in 
 event of changes to the structure being 
 needed to provide for business expan¬ 
 sion. He knows that the original work 
 
 can be matched up perfectly, and the 
 available supply of this stone and uni¬ 
 formity of this massive deposit assures 
 him that the same quarry will be 
 producing the same stone for gen¬ 
 erations to come. 
 
 This is a particularly important 
 point in connection with buildings that 
 are to be erected in several sections 
 and is something that few building 
 stones, with the possible exception of 
 the more expensive well known granites 
 can guarantee.

 Fine example of Indiana Limestone Bank in smaller community . 
 
 On this point the following state¬ 
 ment of a prominent architect is quoted: 
 
 “Distinction of design and first class stone 
 to give effect to the design, are the prime requi¬ 
 sites for a successful Bank Building. These two 
 elements have already been found the greatest 
 influences in attracting the depositor and busi¬ 
 ness man. 
 
 In all instances where Banks have followed 
 this advice it has never been disapproved—the 
 deposits have been greatly increased and added 
 profits made, which enable the Bankers to 
 pay off the cost of alterations and improve¬ 
 ments. 
 
 One particular instance that I might 
 mention is as follows: 
 
 METZGAR & BULLOCK, Architects 
 
 The interesting large window treatment assures a well lighted interior, 
 
 “The building in which this Bank is 
 located was originally faced with red sandstone, 
 the design of mediocre and inappropriate 
 character, and the stone of dingy appearance. 
 On my advice the first story was torn down 
 and a moderately elaborate and beautiful 
 replacement of Indiana Limestone erected. It 
 took a lot of persuasive argument to have 
 Bankers agree to substitute an Indiana Lime¬ 
 stone facing for the original sand-stone which 
 could have been recut and altered, but we won 
 our point by showing the superiority of the 
 handsome light colored limestone over the other 
 material, and overcame the argument that the 
 combination would look incongruous. 
 
 “The result proved highly satisfactory 
 from a business standpoint.”

 it as the home of a banking institution. 
 
 Alterations innumerable of this kind 
 have time and again convinced Bankers 
 of the importance of announcing the 
 existence of a Bank by something more 
 than a sign.

 The height of these handsome Ionic columns of Indiana Limestone and the majestic lofty appearance 
 of this fine Building, can be gained by a comparison of its height With the pedestrians in picture. 
 
 In fact the importance of pre¬ 
 senting a handsome and substantial 
 appearance to the public view can 
 hardly be overestimated. This is now 
 generally recognized as one of the 
 best kinds of advertising that a Bank 
 can do. 
 
 To briefly sum up these facts, the 
 principal merits of Indiana Limestone 
 as applied to bank buildings are: First— 
 The dignified beauty and structural 
 
 worth of a permanent natural prod¬ 
 uct, which is entirely unapproach¬ 
 able by any manufactured substi¬ 
 tute and fully expresses the charac¬ 
 ter of Banking institutions. Second 
 —A cost sufficiently low to place it 
 always within the limits of a sound 
 commercial investment. 
 
 Indiana Limestone very often 
 competes successfully in price with much 
 less desirable substitutes.

 The actual cost of any building is 
 necessarily dependent largely upon the 
 architectural design and the appro¬ 
 priate use of the material selected. 
 
 The manner of using a material is 
 often a greater factor in the cost, than 
 the material itself. This is true of all 
 materials to a much greater extent 
 than is generally appreciated and is 
 especially true of stone. 
 
 The cost will, therefore, be con¬ 
 trolled largely by the architect through 
 the complexity of detail, simplicity, or 
 elaboration of his design. This is an im¬ 
 portant matter, for when properly han¬ 
 dled, Indiana Limestone will give not 
 only intrinsic durability and beauty at 
 reasonable cost, but will also give to the 
 
 character of your building an appear¬ 
 ance of strength, a worth-while asset 
 which mere money alone cannot pro¬ 
 duce, thus making the Bank a monu¬ 
 ment as such, for generations to come. 
 
 Though the stone is of a quality 
 which admits of the most intricate 
 carving and other elaborate treatment 
 with signal ease, the most successful 
 Indiana Limestone buildings have sel¬ 
 dom been the most highly ornamented; 
 for a simple, massive treatment, express¬ 
 ing the nobility of the stone itself, is a 
 vital factor in the success of any design. 
 Just imagine the finest stone building 
 you know, built, upon exactly the same 
 design, of wood, or any other material, 
 and this point becomes clear.

 The experienced Bank Architect 
 knows how to handle these factors and 
 produce, in the completed structure, the 
 desirable characteristics without resort 
 to useless and unnecessary elaboration. 
 The illustrations, it will be noted, in¬ 
 clude examples of the larger and more 
 elaborately designed monumental banks, 
 on down to the quite simple and moder¬ 
 ate cost smaller buildings, in which the 
 cost has invariably been carefully con¬ 
 sidered. Also a couple of examples of 
 Stone Trimmed Brick buildings where 
 “The Aristocrat of Building Ma¬ 
 terials” was employed for the archi¬ 
 tectural features to give a distinctive 
 
 character to these walls of brickwork. 
 Such use of stone and brick for Bank 
 Buildings is often determined by type 
 of architectural design rather than by 
 economic reasons. 
 
 A further item of importance in 
 connection with the design of branch 
 Bank Buildings that is worthy of careful 
 consideration is that of an identifying 
 uniformity. It is considered a business 
 asset for any Banking institution that 
 maintains several branches to adopt a 
 characteristic style of architectural ex¬ 
 pression for these buildings, and then 
 to carry out all of the designs for 
 branch Banks in that particular style.

 BANK OF DETROIT, Detroit, Mich. 
 
 GIAVER, DINKELBERG & ELLINGTON, Architects 
 Built of Gray Indiana Limestone. 
 
 Indiana Limestone is most appro¬ 
 priate for this purpose because its 
 economy permits the Branch Banks to 
 be built of the same material as the 
 parent institution. Such buildings have 
 an individuality and in the public mind 
 must create the lasting impression that 
 
 they are a part of an old established 
 institution, the worth and integrity of 
 which they were already familiar with. 
 The Bank of Detroit successfully carried 
 out this idea, as will be noted from the 
 three similar branch Banks of this insti¬ 
 tution, illustrated on opposite page.

 and found it practical to take down, remodel and rebuild 
 their Indiana Limestone front as a central portion of 
 the enlarged building, adding wings on both sides. 
 
 The present building, while unquestionably a tribute 
 to the Architect’s ingenuity, is further a tribute to the 
 permanence, salvage value and adaptability of Indiana 
 Limestone to alteration requirements. 
 
 This stone can readily be cut into and be shaped or 
 fitted to its new location in the structure. It would be 
 difficult to notice from an inspection of the present build¬ 
 ing, illustrated above, that the building had not been 
 erected in its entirety as it stands today.

 Indiana Limestone comes in 
 three main varieties, or color-tones, 
 called respectively Gray, Buff and 
 Variegated. 
 
 Gray Indiana Limestone is of a 
 beautifully delicate silvery gray with a 
 slightly bluish cast, very handsome for 
 Bank Buildings of monumental design. 
 This variety is sometimes called “blue” 
 by the Cut Stone Trade. 
 
 The Buff is of a warm creamy or 
 yellow toned gray, that is decidedly 
 attractive and is very generally used for 
 Banks, as well as for all other purposes. 
 
 The Variegated stone is an irregu¬ 
 lar mixture of the two, consisting in the 
 finished work of both gray and buff 
 stone, with some stone containing both 
 
 color-tones on the one piece and is re¬ 
 markably effective in giving variety to 
 rather plain or uninterrupted wall sur¬ 
 faces and in producing the effect of 
 maturity in new buildings. 
 
 Samples, while they will not serve 
 to effectively visualize the appearance of 
 a completed building, are the best de¬ 
 scription and these will be sent, without 
 charge, to any Banker or other party 
 interested in building. 
 
 All three varieties become more 
 mellow and richer in tone year after 
 year as the buildings become older; in 
 fact, there is no other building material 
 which ages more gracefully, a thought 
 which brings up the question of dura¬ 
 bility, or permanence.

 An excellent example of Altered usage and of the permanence and adaptability of Indiana Limestone Buildings. 
 
 The U. S. GoCernment followed its own Wise precedent by building its handsome new Indianapolis Post-Office Building of the same material. 
 
 Indiana Limestone has no ascer¬ 
 tainable limit of life in a building. 
 American buildings constructed of it 
 fifty years ago show the marks of the 
 stonecutter’s tool in their original clear¬ 
 ness. Many of the oldest buildings in 
 Europe are of a Limestone, geologically 
 similar, but chemically much inferior to 
 our Indiana Limestone deposit. The 
 natural outcroppings of this stone at 
 the quarries show sharp, broken edges 
 which have been exposed for many cen¬ 
 turies without appreciable change. 
 
 For a full detailed discussion of this 
 and other qualities, or structural proper¬ 
 ties of Indiana Limestone, the reader 
 
 is referred to Volume 1, of the Indiana 
 Limestone Library, a copy of which 
 will be sent with our compliments to any 
 address upon request. 
 
 In order to complete the argument 
 in favor of Indiana Limestone, it must 
 be stated that in addition to these quali¬ 
 ties of beauty and permanence, it is a 
 highly fire resistive material and on that 
 score also is a sound investment for a 
 conservative financial institution. 
 
 Many so-called fire-proof materials 
 show a very high resistance to heat in 
 small specimens under laboratory test 
 conditions. But in a real fire, similar 
 material will often fail to “stand up,”

The question of BANK or BANK and OFFICE BUILDING 
 on which diverse opinions exist. 
 
 Several examples of a type of Bank Building which 
 falls midway between the Bank proper and the taller 
 Bank and Office Building are illustrated. 
 
 This type of structure may be described as a building 
 in which several floors of offices are combined with Bank 
 quarters. Such a building is not so tall that the in¬ 
 dividuality of the Bank cannot be properly expressed 
 by a suitable monumental architectural treatment of the 
 exterior. At the same time this provides office space 
 that can later be utilized to take care of the growth of 
 any of the various departments of the Banking institu¬ 
 tion. 
 
 This type of structure is one that appears to meet with 
 fairly general approval from Bankers, both in the larger 
 cities and smaller towns, but there exists some diverse 
 opinion as to its advantages, and an experienced 
 Bank Architect makes the following statement on this 
 subject- 
 
 “When the time arrives for the bank to take thought 
 of the increased comfort and advantages afforded by a 
 new building there are two types of structure which come 
 
 to mind.—one the individual home for the bank’s ex¬ 
 clusive use, and the other with sufficient additional rent¬ 
 ing space to return a revenue. 
 
 “This latter type, at first thought, seems to be pre¬ 
 ferable. but the writer’s experience is that banks which 
 build office buildings for their income return sooner or 
 later regret it. In such a building the quarters of the 
 bank, to which it is vitally necessary to give distinction 
 and particular emphasis, become only incidental. The 
 bank, after all. is but one of many occupants; conse¬ 
 quently it is difficult to focus public attention upon it. 
 
 “Then, too, the bank ties up money which ordinarily 
 it can use to better advantage in its own business and 
 embarks on a venture which is foreign to it. Renting 
 office space is not banking, and except when some special 
 condition prevails, it would not seem desirable to build 
 other than the individual bank building. In the individ¬ 
 ual building only, is it possible to attain that distinction 
 already referred to.” 
 
 On the other hand Architects will often highly recom¬ 
 mend the larger revenue producing building.

 because it must then resist not only heat 
 but also confinement in a given space 
 under the stress of loading and drench- 
 ings with cold water while hot. 
 
 The virtue of Indiana Limestone 
 in resistance to fire damage is that it is 
 not disintegrated by fire plus water, 
 will stand any ordinary fire temperature 
 with considerable less damage than most 
 materials, except under conditions so 
 extreme that they rarely occur except 
 in great conflagrations, or at restricted 
 points in an ordinary fire. 
 
 In this respect of fire damage, 
 Indiana Limestone is at least equal to 
 all other fire resistive materials. 
 
 A description of fire tests on Indi¬ 
 ana Limestone which all should read is 
 
 also given in Volume 1, of the Indiana 
 Limestone Library. 
 
 There is not a State in the Union 
 or a Province in Canada where Indiana 
 Limestone has not fully justified its 
 title as “The Aristocrat of Building 
 Materials” in building usage. 
 
 Its extensive use for so many varied 
 purposes ranging from the plain window 
 sills in a moderate cost residence on up 
 to the most elaborate Administration 
 Building and including residences, 
 churches, office buildings, clubs, schools, 
 hospitals and other public buildings, 
 and especially BANK BUILDINGS, 
 making it, by its very universal use 
 for all these purposes, unquestionably 
 “The Nation’s Building Stone.”

 These two banks illustrate the effective employment of Indiana Limestone for the trim or Architectural embellishment of Brick. Walls. 
 
 It is difficult to decide whether the Northampton Institution for Savings is brick trimmed with Indiana Limestone or Indiana Limestone 
 paneled with brick. But it is not hard to perceive what Indiana Limestone contributes to the handsome result.

HOME NATIONAL BANK, Meriden, Conn. 
 
 T HE atmosphere of nobility and 
 grandeur, or of quaint genuineness 
 of craftsmanship, so impressive in 
 the architecture of Europe, is to a very 
 great extent due to the sincere use of 
 material of genuine worth, largely nat¬ 
 ural stone and mostly Limestone. The 
 forces that made Indiana Limestone 
 were not paid by the day. They reckon 
 their time by the million years. Their 
 work was not over when the whistle 
 blew, but only when their age-long cos¬ 
 mic job was completed. Again and 
 again it has been found futile to even 
 try to imitate or equal in materials 
 made by the hands of man, this natural, 
 unstudied time-tested perfection.

 While a post office is not a bank 
 building, it is a somewhat similar type 
 of more or less monumental structure, 
 for which reason, it is, therefore, inter¬ 
 esting to note the fact that a majority 
 of United States Post Offices, large and 
 small, as well as many other Federal 
 and State Government buildings, are 
 built of Indiana Limestone. 
 
 The Post Office Building is intended 
 to be not only permanent but beautiful 
 as well, a fit symbol of that on which 
 our Federal Government system is based. 
 The Government’s complete acceptance 
 of Indiana Limestone is based on a 
 thorough scientific investigation, which 
 is a striking testimony to its merit.

 America has had her spasm of

 the guidance of her able architects, 
 trained in the best architectural tradi¬ 
 tion is emerging from the Age of Cheap 
 Construction and Imitations and is 
 rapidly returning with keen apprecia¬

 his Architect is most likely to specify 
 it upon his own initiative, as it is so

 Comparatively few representative Indiana Limestone Bank and Office buildings are illus¬ 
 trated in this Volume, the tall office building type being represented by only a couple of examples, 
 regardless of the extensive and continually growing use of Indiana Limestone as a facing for tall 
 skeleton frame buildings. 
 
 These bank and office buildings can be roughly divided into two general classifications, those 
 of moderate height such as the buildings illustrated on this page and on pages 10, 26 and 44, and 
 the skyscraper type illustrated on pages 32, 33 and 64. More buildings of this class, of which there 
 are a great many, have not been included, as they fall more particularly in the class of Office 
 buildings, rather than as Bank buildings. The complete illustration of that type of Indiana 
 Limestone structure has been reserved for another volume to be issued as a separate unit of the 
 Indiana Limestone Library.

 View of Indiana Limestone Banking Room. 
 
 The preference for Banking rooms faced with a light soft toned stone is constantly growing among experienced Bankers. 
 
 W ITH regard to interior work in 
 Banks; the handsome appear¬ 
 ance, fineness of texture, and 
 delicacy of color-tone of Indiana Lime¬ 
 stone is such that certain grades are 
 very generally used for interiors, not 
 only in public buildings and churches, 
 but also in vestibules, lobbies and in 
 banking rooms. Examples of its use 
 for Bank interiors are shown by the 
 illustrations on this page and on pages 
 50 and 52. 
 
 This use will no doubt appeal 
 strongly to your architect because of 
 the restful dignity that may be had in 
 the interior of your new banking rooms 
 through the correct use of Indiana 
 Limestone, in preference to the often too 
 luxurious and expensive use of colored 
 
 marbles, or the unfortunate resort to 
 their imitation by scagliola. |This sug¬ 
 gestion is not by any means to disparage 
 the use of other beautiful materials, but 
 rather to bring before the court of your 
 good taste the alternative fine effects 
 possible by the use of “The Nation's 
 Building Stone” either alone or in 
 combination with them and often at 
 considerable saving in cost. Indiana 
 Limestone, along with utility, imparts 
 “atmosphere”—a dignified hospitality, 
 in contrast with the effect of “excessive 
 magnificence.” A banking room design¬ 
 ed for marbles up to top of counter or 
 screen level, or thereabouts, with the 
 whole upper part of the room, including 
 the columns, of Indiana Limestone is 
 unquestionably impressive.

 ROLAND W. LINES, Architect 
 
 One of the many Indiana Limestone Bank branches, connected with this and other large Cana¬ 
 dian Banking institutions. The fine Indiana Limestone Banks in Canada indicate that this country 
 is no less progressive in the selection of building materials than in other lines of business activity. 
 In the larger cities, such as Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg, numerous examples are to be found of 
 the use of Indiana Limestone for fine bank buildings. 
 
 More attention is now paid to the de¬ 
 sign of Bank interiors than formerly. 
 Not only the walls, but also counters, 
 metal screen work and lighting arrange¬ 
 ments. Many bank interiors are now 
 lighted entirely by a concealed indirect 
 lighting arranged in the cornices of bank 
 screens, which system calls for a suitable 
 light colored background of walls for the 
 
 best effects. The color-tone and tex¬ 
 ture of Indiana Limestone makes it 
 superior for this purpose. 
 
 In the directors’ room, conference 
 rooms, or officers’ rooms, fireplaces of 
 Indiana Limestone, whether finely 
 carved or severely simple, add an 
 appropriate touch of simple business¬ 
 like elegance.

 organizations of New York in the encouragement of good Architecture have been awarded to Indiana Limestone 
 buildings. The merit of this fine natural stone is recognized from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast. Buildings in 
 the northern part of Maine, in Florida, in the State of Washington and in southern California have been constructed 
 of the Indiana product in preference to local stone, on account of its appearance, absolute permanence and economy.

 N O doubt the handsome bank build¬ 
 ings we illustrate in this volume 
 have been as convincing as the 
 facts we have been able to give, yet it is 
 seldom indeed that these reproductions 
 from photographs do full justice to the 
 subject, and an actual inspection of at 
 least a few of these buildings is urged 
 upon the Banker or his Architect, hav¬ 
 ing a new Bank Building in prospect. 
 Just as a sample of the stone is better 
 than the most elaborate description, so 
 is the sight of an actual Indiana Lime¬ 
 stone building more convincing than 
 many pictures. 
 
 For your convenience, therefore, 
 we have inserted in back of this volume, 
 
 a list of banks built entirely, or in part, 
 of this material. A few of these build¬ 
 ings listed are built of Brick with 
 Indiana Limestone trim but the ma¬ 
 jority have the walls entirely faced with 
 Indiana Limestone, either from grade 
 line, or above a low base course of 
 Granite. They are classified by states 
 (or provinces), and by cities. Thus you 
 will find it easy and certainly worth 
 while to examine the Indiana Lime¬ 
 stone bank buildings in your vicinity. 
 
 The list included, though far from 
 complete, is in itself a most impressive 
 recognition of the truths we have herein 
 stated concerning the finest and most 
 generally useful building material which 
 the hand of Nature has produced.

 Facts that should be kept in mind by the Banker, who is planning a new 
 
 building or the remodeling of an old one 
 
 That Indiana Limestone may be obtained in as large units as it may be desired to use. 
 This is not possible in many manufactured materials, nor with all other quarry products. 
 
 Large stone courses, monolithic columns, etc. impart to the building a suggestion of 
 strength and majestic dignity that is not only particularly appropriate to Banks but a par¬ 
 ticularly desirable business asset for financial institutions. 
 
 This seems to be the proper point at which to interject that, owing to the fact that they 
 are easily turned on a lathe, columns, even large ones, as well as Balusters may be had of 
 Indiana Limestone at astonishingly moderate cost. 
 
 In the buildings shown on pages 10 and 26, only five courses of stone Ashlar facing 
 were used to each story height, giving them an amazingly fine effect in scale. 
 
 In the bank shown on upper part of page 12 the individual stone courses of the Wall 
 Ashlar are actually around 6 feet in height. 
 
 The banks shown on pages 43 and 37 are other examples of the employment of un¬ 
 usually large stone units with fine effect. 
 
 The illustrations cannot do justice to these buildings. They must be seen to be 
 appreciated.

 Indiana Limestone weighs approximately 149 lbs. per cubic foot, has a 
 comparatively low absorption value, remarkable elasticity and consequent re¬ 
 sistance to action of the elements. In fact Indiana Limestone weathers and 
 ages beautifully under all conditions of exposure. 
 
 After seasoning and hardening, the crushing strength of Indiana Lime¬ 
 stone will average around 7,000 to 8,000 lbs. per square inch and it thus pos¬ 
 sesses many times more strength than any ordinary use in building construction 
 ever requires. Indiana Limestone is a highly fire-resistive building material.

Notes on the Design of Bank Buildings 
 
 BANK SCREENS 
 
 Bank screens and interior fittings may be constructed 
 of Indiana Limestone. The harder variety is most suitable 
 for this purpose but it is not advisable to include counter 
 tops and baseboards, unless polished hard Indiana 
 Limestone is used, as these items should be of a material 
 that will better withstand soiling from the continuous 
 service and frequent washing. 
 
 BANK VAULTS 
 
 A bank vault exterior of stone always has a more 
 
 massive and secure appearance than when covered with 
 painted plaster, quite regardless of what thickness of 
 steel and concrete or other masonry may exist underneath 
 this exterior covering. For that reason the bank vault 
 incased with a suitably designed facing of Indiana Lime¬ 
 stone is both an ornament and psychologically an asset 
 to the Bank. 
 
 Other Features 
 
 Too often little or no attention is paid to 
 providing for the necessary or supplementary 
 features of a bank building which, when added 
 later, become incongruous because they form 
 no part of the design and their later installation 
 usually serves to disfigure the exterior or inte¬ 
 rior of the building. Among these may be 
 mentioned the following items: 
 
 CLOCKS—When a clock is to be installed on an exterior 
 it can usually be very effectively incorporated in the 
 design and probably serve as an accent that will 
 replace some other architectural detail or feature. 
 The same remarks, to a lesser extent, also apply to 
 larger clocks that are installed in bank interiors. 
 
 The illustrations on pages 7, 42, 54, 55 and 57 show 
 examples of the appropriate use of clocks on the 
 exteriors and page 50 an interior example. 
 
 BURGLAR ALARMS—This item is usually far from 
 ornamental, and its installation on the exterior of a 
 fine stone building is often an eye-sore. There is no 
 reason for this, because if banker will make this require¬ 
 ment for Burglar Alarm known to his Architect during 
 the preliminary stages, a suitable place can usually 
 be provided for it in the design of exterior and the 
 alarm be placed behind an ornamental metal grill or 
 be placed back of a projecting pediment, cartouch or 
 other stone feature. 
 
 SIGNS — In addition to the main sign or lettering giving 
 name of Bank, etc., which is usually carved or mounted 
 in some permanent place on the exterior of building, 
 various other smaller signs are often necessary and 
 there is no reason why these cannot be provided for 
 in some suitable manner by incorporating an orna¬ 
 mental bulletin board feature in the lower part of 
 windows, or in other suitable position where they will 
 not look like an after-thought or detract from appear¬ 
 ance of building. 
 
 ADVERTISING MATTER—Closely allied to such 
 signs is the advertising matter which is not of the 
 permanent nature but must be displayed from time 
 to time. This was very successfully provided for in 
 one building by an interesting device consisting of 
 an ornamental case, somewhat in the nature of a show 
 case, in the lower part of one of the principal windows, 
 so arranged as to be a part of the window treatment. 
 This ingenious arrangement combining the show case 
 with one of the main windows, gave excellent facilities 
 for the effective display of matter of various forms, 
 from the small announcement card on up to fair size 
 show-card or poster, with suitable artificial lighting 
 when needed, without disfiguring either the exterior or 
 interior of building. 
 
 METAL WORK—It is always important that metal 
 features of all sorts be eliminated whenever possible, 
 but when necessary be of a special design and be 
 applied to the exterior of stone buildings with careful 
 judgment as to their probable after effect on the 
 appearance of exterior. The wash from metal work, 
 whether of copper, bronze or iron, in sufficient quantity, 
 will cause some discoloration of all light colored building 
 stones, and it is naturally desirable to eliminate this 
 as far as practical. For instance, if a balustrade is 
 necessary or desirable as a part of the design it is 
 inadvisable to use a metal rail where a stone balustrade 
 can be used. Metal grills at windows are becoming 
 obsolete and their use should be avoided. When these 
 are considered necessary, it is advisable to provide 
 for the wash by deeply cut drip on the window sills, 
 or in some instances by gutter that will carry this 
 wash back into the drainage system on the interior 
 of building. 
 
 PROJECTING CORNICE AND BELT COURSES— 
 The top of cornices and belt courses, when of any 
 considerable projection, will usually collect sufficient 
 dirt in the atmosphere of any large city to result in an 
 unsightly wash over face of building from these cornices 
 during rainstorms. For this reason where the particular 
 member is sufficiently high above the level of the eye, 
 it is very often advisable to reverse the pitch on top 
 of cornice, cutting a gutter in back of same along the 
 face of the building, flashing the entire top of cornice 
 with sheet metal, and thus carrying the water back to 
 the drainage system inside of building. Many prom¬ 
 inent Architects have employed this detail with excellent 
 results. 
 
 PARAPET WALLS—Parapets, especially tall, thin 
 parapet walls, are always inadvisable and when not 
 required by provision of the building laws can be 
 avoided by raising the roof high above ceiling, giving 
 more height to the attic story, or space between ceiling 
 and roof, or by replacing same with an open balustrade 
 of stone. 
 
 Where the parapet is a low one, it is often an advantage 
 to build it of solid stone, rather than of a thin stone 
 facing backed up with brick, the same as walls below.

 The Banker is assured of permanent investment value 
 and absolute freedom from repair and maintenance 
 expense in connection with the exterior of his buildings 
 when his Architect specifies INDIANA LIMESTONE. 
 The character of his Banking Institution can also best be 
 expressed by using this, the ARISTOCRAT OF BUILDINQ 
 MATERIALS. A Standard of Excellence for Banks.

With Regard to Architects 
 
 I T was not possible for us to include in this Bulletin the Architects’ names in 
 connection with this long list of Banks erected of Indiana Limestone, on 
 • account of the necessity of collecting this information from various and widely 
 scattered sources. 
 
 Unfortunately, it has thus far been impossible to ascertain accurately the names 
 of the Architects of quite a number of these buildings, and for that reason, in the 
 interest of fairness, the names of all Architects have been omitted. 
 
 We regret this lack of data, as it is felt that it would be a convenience to the 
 Reader, as well as a pleasure to us, to have stated the name of the Designers of 
 all Banks listed, but it was not considered equitable, or advisable, to list some and 
 omit others. For that reason the mention of Architects’ names has been con¬ 
 fined to the banks illustrated in the volume to which this list is a supplement. 
 
 If, for any reason, the Reader should desire to know the name and address of the 
 Architect who designed any particular building or buildings listed, which he may 
 be familiar with or interested in, we shall gladly endeavor to secure and furnish 
 this information, upon request.
