[3] It is a two-story wood-frame building on a concrete foundation, built in 1908 to serve as the Bank of Lavina's building. The bank became the Lavina State Bank in 1911 and "served as the financial center of the town and surrounding communities" only to fail in the drought and depression of the 1920s, like hundreds of other small banks in Montana. It later served as a post office and as the Lavina Masonic Lodge.[4]
