The Farmers Bank of Petersburg was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 6, 1989. The building is an excellent example of vernacular commercial architecture of the early 20th century (1900–1930).

Farmers Bank of Petersburg was founded in 1903 and closed in 1970. It was the 4th bank organized in Boone County, after Burlington, Walton, and Hebron, and was the only bank serving the western portion of Boone County.

Architectural details

The boomtown facade indicates commercial use of the one-story gable-front building. The upper portion of the facade rests on a stone string course. Lintels and sills are made of smooth cut stone and the facade parapet is capped with tin.
