Backstory and Context
Text-to-speech Audio
This building was built in 1907 after the original building was destroyed by fire in 1906. The Gaylord State Savings Bank (later renamed
Gaylord State Bank) occupied this location from 1893 until a new bank building was constructed one block to the east of this site in 1964.
Later occupants of this building include the Big Boy Restaurant and Main Street Shoes. The upper level housed the Union Library (later renamed Gaylord City Library) for several years before it moved to the Municipal Building on South Court Avenue.
Today, SitzTax, a tax and accounting business, occupies the building in the heart of Gaylord's downtown business district.
