Work Title:
The former Bozeman-Waters Bank is located on the northeast corner of Main and Locust Streets at a busy intersection in the commercial district of Poseyville. The one-and-one-half story brown brick building features exuberant beige, Sullivanesque terra cotta ornamentation on its south and west sides. The twelve-inch thick walls of brown stippled brick rest on a three foot high stone foundation.
The Bozeman-Waters National Bank Building is architecturally significant as one of Indiana's finest examples of Sullivanesque design and ornamentation. Although located in a very small community in the southwest tip of the state, the building is widely known and is often visited and photographed. The building has often been mistaken for one of Louis Sullivan's small midwestern banks, although it was designed by Evansville, Indiana architect Edward J. Thole, Sr in 1924. (www.nps.gov)
