bank lobby and the cashiers Office. The
ceiling is beamcd and is claborately fres-
coed in light olive tints, lightened up

The banking room. including the bank

The wainscoting of the same material
runs to the height of the windows.
In the rear Of the building on the same

on Third street are the Offices of the
Great Falls Water Power and Townsite

lobby is wainscoted in Tennessee marbles.

STRUCTURAL. BETAIiS.
The Foundations and Enclosing Walls -
strength aud stability.

The Foundations and Enclosing Walls s-
strength aud stability.
There have been no pains spared to
make the building in every way strong
substantial. TIE foundation of the
massive structure rests on a solid ledge
Of rock, twenty feet below the level of
the street. The foundation walls are
carried up in solid masonry laid in
cement 1t is safe to say that an i'm
mcnso structure can be raised upon such
foundation and yet retain perfect
stability. Tho enclosing walls are OF
massive blocks Of sandstone. Massive
fire walls run through the length and
breadth OF the building, Heavy iron
columns are brought up on stone piers
| from the rock ledge and placed in line
with the piers in the outer wall. J he
spaces between these columns are built
| in with fire proof tiles. From the cX-
terror piers to the columns run heavy
IRON ! beams, the floors being carried ON
| six inch terra Gotta tile arches between
these beams. The entire building is tied
| together by iron tie rods, anchors and
channels, the most substantial form of
construction ever yet cmbodicd IN a
building of this character and design.
The floor arches are lcvccd up with
cement grouting, upon which the finish
floors of maple or marble are laid.
Everything is designed so that the
building can be carried up to the seventh
story with the least possible discomfort
to the occupants. This is Il vital point
as it is the intention to carry it up next
year, the present season being utilized to
got the stone quarricd and cut so that
when the work Of building once begins
it can be carried through to completion
without delay. The top course Of stone
of the present cornice is cut ready to re-
ceve the first course Of the third story
wall. Arrangements have also been
made for carrying up the iron columns
without disturbing the temporary roof.
Thus the entire building may be com
plctcd and the permanent roof put on G.
fore it will be necessary to to remove the
temporary roof, in order to finish the
floors of the third story. The iron frame
work for the elevators and stairways are
also in place ready to be carried up to
the top story.

the business demanded another jump of
the capital stock and it was increased to
S2JOOOO.
At the regular annual meeting in Jan
uary, 1891, j. Il. Arlington was elected
vice president and II. II. Matteson as
sstant cashier At this meeting the
first step towards the erection of the
new bank building was taken, the board
being authorized to sell one half Of lot |,
block 800, to the Townsite company. ~.
f.. Collins, j. Bookwalter and A. f.
Dickerman were appointed a building
committee and authorized to proceed
with the new structure, which is now
nearing completion.
At the January, 1892, meeting Of the
stockholders the bank was authorized to
increase its capital stock to SJOO,0OO and
this result will he accomplished in the
near future. The report OF the cashier
at this time showed prosperous condi-
ton Of the bank. The loans and dis
counts amounted to s749,l3G and cash
and exchange to Sll1,332. Deposits
were S7O00OO and surplus and profits
! SS5OOO.
This brief history of the First National
bank, exhibiting it's rapid growth in
business and influence should be, and
doubtless is, in the highest degree salts
| factory to the officers and stockholders
o. the bank. The remarkable growth of
this financial institution may be taken
as an index of the progress and
development of Great Falls. Both have
been jumping ahead at lively rate
since 1886, and it is entirely safe to say
that the one will keep pace with the
other in the years to come.
Since its organization in 1886 the Firs
National has paid in dividends $lO2,25O
and has now surplus of SG5,OOO will
undivided profits Of $4,000. In addition
to these sums about $4,000 have gon,
into banking b use, furniture and fix
lures, making a rather handsome sun
total of profits for six years. To NOR,
fully emphasize the steady progress o
the First National it should be born il
mind that five additional banking in
stitutiOns have been established al
Great Falls and that all are meeting with
good business success.
The First National bank is prc.cmi
ncntly "a Great Falls institution. OveI

A MAGNIFICENT BUILDING.
A Detailed Description Of the COnStTuc-
tiOn Of the New Building EX-
terror and Interior.
How II Has Been Built and Those Who
Have Built It---An Inter-
eStinS Story.

The First National bank Of Great
Falls will move into its new quarters the
last Of this week. The people OF Great
Falls have watched the construction Of
the new bank building with no little in
tcrest and it is now so nearly ready for
occupancy that description of the
structure can be given. As the building
is in every sense a monument to the en-
tcrprise, emery and business thrift Of the
people of Great Falls in general, as well
as of those who have been interested in
its erection, it is fitting that a detailed
description of the building should, at
ihis time, be published. The TRIBUNE
believes it's readers will be interested in
such description and takes pleasure in
presenting it to them.
The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1892-04-02

gard to the building is the fact that
native stone only is used in its construc-
ton. 1t is built of that beautiful dark
red sandstone found in our local guarries,
the color and enduring qualities of which
have commended it to builders, since it
gives the structure into which it enters
both beauty and strength. Constructed
according to the latest and most ap-
proved plans, fire-proof throughout,
fitted with every modern improvement
and convenience, elegant but modest in
all it's details, lacking nothing that the
best taste and the highest public spirit
can suggest, it is model Of business
architecture and an ornament to the
city of Great Falls.
The building is of the Romancsque
style Of architecture. 1t has a frontage
OF 80 feet on Central avenue and l05 feet
on Third street. When completed #
will be seven stories high and will have
cost very nearly S2OO,QOO. The cost OF
the building as it now stands is ?ll5OOO
but the most expensive portions of the
work the foundation and vault work
are included in this estimate.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

a short Historical Sketch of the Pioneer
Financial Institution.
The pioneer financial institution Of
Great Falls is to be heartily congratu-
lated upon entering it's new home-the
finest general structure and most magni-
ticcnt banking rooms west of Minneapolis
at go early "a period after its founding.
Why, it seems but yesterday since the
First National bank of Great Falls
opened its doors to the public in the
small frame building now occupied by
EgloTs jcwclry store, but its growth and
achievements since that time have been
something remarkable in banking an
mails.
The preliminary meeting for the pur-
pose of organizing the First National
bank Of Great Falls was held at Helena
May u, 1856, at which there was in at
tendance Col. g. A. Broadwater, S. T.
Atkinson, II. O. Chowcn. A. +. Dicker.
man and l.. G. Phelps. These gentle
men were named as directors and the Of
iiccra selected for the first term were
