Merchants National Bank building in Grinnell

Architect Louis Sullivan's 1914 Masterpiece

The bank, now home to the Grinnell Area Chamber of Commerce, is recognized by the U.S. Department of the Interior as a National Historic Landmark. It is one of the eight jewel-box banks in the Midwest designed by Sullivan, creator of the modern skyscraper and mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright.

The bank is open to the public during the Chamber's normal business hours, weekdays between 8am and 5pm. It is also open to visitors on Saturdays, from 10am-4pm, and Sundays from 1-4pm. Volunteer docents are on hand to welcome visitors and provide information.
