About this Exploration:

The Barnes State Bank was originally built in 1911 and robbed at gunpoint twice between 1911 and 1924. The bank became insolvent in 1924 and the building served as a post office, cafe, plumbing shop and electrical shop.


The "Barnes State Bank" was listed on the the Kansas Preservation Alliance
Endangered Sites List in 2006.

The building fronts historic K-9 (also known at the Great White Way) along Railroad Avenue.

Clarence Barker, Salem, Oregon, purchased the stately red brick structure and has been responsible for it's restoration as a memorial to his great grandfather, Clinton Hogue, one of the original founders of the bank in 1911.

On November 10, 2007, the Barnes Trust for Historic Preservation hosted the re-dedication of the Barnes State Bank Museum.
