New South Lorain Branch for Lorain National Bank – Jan. 2, 1968

Fifty years ago this month, Lorain National Bank was making preparations for a brand new branch in South Lorain at Pearl Avenue and 29th Street. Temporary quarters at that location would be utilized until the new building shown in the ad was completed.

It looks kind of like a college building to me.

Anyway, the finished building looks only vaguely like the building shown in the architectural rendering.

Today, of course, the former LNB location at 2850 Pearl Avenue is a branch of Northwest Bank.
