The Central Place Apartments, originally constructed as the First National Bank Building, is a notable historic commercial structure located in Fort Dodge, Iowa, United States. Founded in 1866, the First National Bank quickly became the leading financial institution in the city, managed by influential local entrepreneurs. The existing six-story edifice, which rises to about 90 feet, was completed in 1908 and features a design by the Des Moines architectural firm Liebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen in the Early Commercial architectural style. This building has since been converted into residential apartments. It was officially added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 and has been recognized as a contributing element of the Fort Dodge Downtown Historic District since 2010.
