Glenford Bank
The Glenford Bank is a historic bank in the small village of Glenford, Ohio, United States. Built in the early twentieth century, the building has served as a core component of village life for much of its history, and it has been named a historic site because of its distinctive architecture.
==History==
Glenford was founded early in the nineteenth century, but for much of its early history it was a small crossroads,〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 2. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999, 1134-1135.〕 consisting of an unplatted small mill town at a spot where Jonathans Creek could be forded. It was not until the railroads ran through it that it began to grow.〔Martzolff, Clement L. "Little Journeys Round About Ohio". ''(The Ohio Teacher )'' 36 (November 1915): 93.〕 By the 1910s, the village had grown to the point that some thought a bank could take its place in the community; the bank was incorporated in 1916,〔 under the presidency of George Deffenbaugh Orr,〔White, James Terry, ed. ''The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography''. (Vol. 17 ). New York: James T. White, 1904, 230.〕 and it soon began the construction of the present building. Built in 1919, the bank was situated at the intersection of Main and Broad at the heart of the village.〔 It only operated for little more than a decade before failing in 1932.〔(Tourism ), Perry County Chamber of Commerce, 2013. Accessed 2013-05-20.〕 In later years, it served as a fire station for a time;〔 by the 1960s, it was being used as a community center, and the walls of the main meeting room had been painted to depict scenes from the community's history.〔Shoup, Ron. "(Perry Historians Hear About Early Ohioans )". ''Newark Advocate'' 1968-04-05: 19.〕 In 1987, the owners began to restore the building;〔 performed under the leadership of Central Ohio Technical College professor Whitney Tussing, who operated a historic preservation-oriented architecture practice in Glenford, the project saw the building turned into a residence. In later years, Tussing's work at the bank attracted coverage by a Home and Garden Channel television show, and Tussing himself has spoken of the bank-to-house project as one of his leading projects.〔"Preservationist to speak at meeting."
