I HAD TWO PHOTOS OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MAQUOKETA STATE BANK
BUILDING IN ABOUT 1962 JUST NORTH OF THE KMAQ BUILDING. ONE PHOTO
WENT UP ON THE DAILY REPORT.....BELOW.....BUT THE OTHER ONE WON'T GO UP AT THIS TIME. MAYBE IT WILL GO LATER. M-S-B IS CELEBRATING ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY NOW THRU SEPTEMBER.

THIS PHOTO IS VERY SMALL ALSO. CLICK-ON TO ENLARGE A LITTLE. THIS
PHOTO SHOWS THE M-S-B NEW ROUND BUILDING AFTER THE FLOOR WAS POURED.
AND, IN THIS PHOTO, IN THE BACKGROUND, THE BUILDING YOU SEE WAS THE
NISSEN DRY CLEANERS BUILDING, OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE LATE HAROLD
NISSEN. AND TO THE NORTH OF IT WAS DANNY'S LUNCH BUILDING.
THE ORIGINAL ROUND BUILDINGS IS STILL IN USE, INCLUDING THE BASEMENT,
BUT OTHER ADDITIONS WERE BUILDT AROUND IT OVER THE YEARS.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MAQUOKETA STATE BANK, NOW CELELBRATING
50 YEARS OF BANKING SERVICE TO MAQUOKETA AND THE SURRONDING AREA.
THERE IS ALSO THE WESTSIDE DRIVE-UP AND WALK-UP ADDITION HERE IN MAQUOKETA AND THERE IS A BRANCH OFFICE IN BOTH ANDREW AND PRESTON.
