History

David Newton Tallman (1872-1958) built the State Bank of Antler building. Tallman had founded the Dakota Development Company which platted towns in North Dakota along the Great Northern Railway. In 1905, the town of Antler was platted by the company. The Tallman Invest Co. of which he was president and treasurer was formed and a large number of banks were established in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana. In 1920, Tallman sold the State Bank of Antler. In later years, the building operated as a customs office and a post office.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, at which time it was vacant.[1] [3]

A bank building in Antler (one of two in the community) was demolished in early 2016, resulting in the removal of this listing from the National Register of Historic Places on July 11, 2016.[4][5] A second listing of a bank building was made in 2019.

Architecture

The building featured Classical Revival architecture. According to its NRHP nomination, "the State Bank of Antler is one of the most ornate and formal examples of pressed metal architecture in North Dakota."[2]
