"The Bank of Myrtle Point"
Built: 1901
Square Footage: 8224
Now a part of Hometown Hardware, the Bank of Myrtle Point was built in 1901 with bricks made locally from the Daniel Giles & Sons brick yard. The building has been occupied by the Bank of Myrtle Point, the N.P. Petersen Mercantile and Myers & Myers Department Store. The post office was also once in the building and the second floor had offices in the upper floors for many years.

The Bank of Myrtle Point was started by J.R. Benson and W.F. Hendricks. It went from private ownership to shareholders in 1912. In 1913, the bank was robbed. Details of the robbery can be found in Myrtle Point Beginnings by Curt Beckham, c. 1985
