Listed on the Kansas Register of Historic Buildings, the former Dorrance State Bank is now closed. Located on Main Street two blocks south of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks, the bank sits across the street from the National Register-listed A. C. Reiff Building. This one-story, freestanding commercial building was erected in 1905 to house the Citizens State Bank, which was later renamed to the Dorrance State Bank. The local bank was a common lending institution for area farmers and merchants during the
early 1900s when Dorrance thrived as a small farming community. The bank did not survive the Great Depression and the building was sold in 1936.
