This location doesn’t really have any cool history behind it that I could find, but it’s design is great and I think worthy of a post. The Bank is still in operation across the street with a new standard looking drive thru attached to the main building.

Yeah the architecture is great! waht a great find for a drive thru to still be hanging around since ‘78
There is a staircase in each teller box that goes down to a tunnel that runs the full length and comes up in the office at the end. It’s actually right downtown so I can’t really call it a find. Just something that I drive by everyday and forgot it sat there.
I took this place for granted. This was my bank for many years. Seeing it in your pictures really brings back some memories. I hope they don’t tear it down – that’s what Oklahoma City seems to do with classic architecture.
A little more history for you: This was the old Central National Bank. Probably the last family owned banks in OKC. They also owned Friendly National Bank in south OKC.
A while back, I heard on the radio that a new Restaurant or Dinner Club called the “Prohibition Room” was located in the building. I drove by it the other day, and saw a sign for the “Prohibition Room”, but couldn’t tell if it was still in business, or if it had been shut down after a short run.
The Prohibition Room is in the Gold Dome, 23rd and Classen.
Wow, have you guys seen this?…
I ran into another great blog that I had to share….
