First National Bank (Erick, Oklahoma)

The First National Bank is a historic building located at 101 S. Main St. in Erick, Oklahoma. The two-story frame building was built in 1907. The building was primarily used as the city's bank; however, it also housed a barbershop in the rear and at one point had a second barbershop in the basement. The second floor of the building held various professional offices, including the courts of local justices of the peace. The bank operated in the building until 1968, during which time it served as Erick's commercial center.
