Dorrance State Bank in National Register of Historic Places

A former bank in Dorrance is now in the National Register of Historic Places after nomination by the Kansas Historical Society.

The one-story, freestanding limestone building was erected in 1905 on Main Street to house the Citizens State Bank, which later became the Dorrance State Bank.  It was a popular lending institution for Russell County farmers and merchants during the early 1900s when Dorrance thrived as a small farming community.  The building was sold in 1936.  The Dorrance Telephone Company used the building as a switchboard facility, and later it served as a barbershop.  The current owner is rehabilitating the building.
