Farmer's Bank of Carson Valley (1597 Esmeralda Avenue, Minden, Nevada)
Farmer's Bank of Carson Valley (also spelled Farmers Bank of Carson Valley) is a historic bank building located at 1597 Esmeralda Avenue in Minden, Nevada. The bank was built from 1916 to 1918 to replace the original 1909 bank building, which the Farmer's Bank had outgrown. Prominent Nevada architect Frederic Joseph DeLongchamps designed the building in the Classical Revival style; the bank is one of many Neoclassical structures designed by DeLongchamps in Minden. The bank's design features a cornice with terra cotta tiles and bands, a flat roof with a low parapet, and an entrance portico with Ionic columns. The bank was built for Farmer's Bank organizer H. F. Dangberg, who was also the founder of Minden.[2] The building served as a bank until 1968 and currently houses offices.[3]
