First National Bank, currently known as US Bank, is situated in Boone, Iowa, United States. Founded in 1884, the bank's initial building succumbed to a fire in 1914. The existing eight-story structure, serving both banking and office purposes, was created by the Des Moines-based architectural firm Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson and built under the supervision of T.C. Wardell, an expert in fire-resistant construction. Constructed between 1915 and 1916 with an investment of $115,000, the building showcases a blend of Neoclassical design and Chicago Commercial School building methods.

In 1935, ownership transferred to Citizen's National Bank, resulting in a rebranding. To accommodate additional office requirements, a two-story extension was introduced in the late 1970s, featuring design aspects that harmonize with the original edifice. The property earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. After subsequent mergers, it now functions under the US Bank name.
