Description: View from the south of the former State Bank of Illinois, located on the northern corner of the junction of Main and Washington Streets in Old Shawneetown, Illinois, United States. Built in 1839, it was once Illinois' premier financial institution, but as the village sank into obscurity, it became insignificant, especially after most residents left in the wake of the Great Flood of 1937; it closed in the 1950s and is now a continuously closed Illinois state historic site. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
