The Osage Bank of Fairfax holds the distinction of being the inaugural banking establishment erected in Osage County, dating back to 1904 amid the Oklahoma oil boom era. It represents one of four modest-sized banks designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style constructed within Osage County between 1904 and 1911, alongside the Bank of Hominy, Bank of Burbank, and Bank of Bigheart.

In 1984, this bank was officially added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Situated at the southeast intersection of N. Main St. (Oklahoma State Highway 18) and E. Elm St. in Fairfax, the structure exemplifies early 20th-century banking design closely linked to the region’s economic expansion during the oil boom period.
