First National Bank is a notable historic structure located in Iowa Falls, Iowa, United States. Originally established in 1882 under the name Commercial Bank of Iowa Falls, it adopted the First National title following the erection of a two-story brick edifice on this site in 1884. In 1917, aiming for a contemporary design, the bank engaged the Lytle Company from Sioux City, Iowa, experts in bank architecture, to create a two-story brick building in the Neoclassical style. This design incorporated terra cotta elements and varied brick hues to produce an intricate surface pattern. First National Bank continued operations at this location until its closure on December 21, 1932. Subsequently, the Iowa Falls State Bank commenced business here on May 25, 1933, eventually extending into a neighboring modern structure.
This building earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 and was designated as a contributing property within the Washington Avenue Commercial Historic District in 2012.
