The Winona Savings Bank Building, presently known as the Winona National Bank Historic Downtown Building, is an example of Egyptian Revival style located in Winona, Minnesota. Designed by the Chicago-based architect George W. Maher, its construction spanned from 1914 to 1916. In 1977, this edifice was added to the National Register of Historic Places due to its importance in both architectural design and commercial history. It stands as Minnesota’s most extensive and well-preserved Egyptian Revival structure from the early twentieth century and represents one of Maher's significant projects within the state.
A distinctive feature of the bank is its third-floor gallery, showcasing taxidermy specimens of African wildlife alongside firearms. This collection was assembled under the direction of bank president EL King, underscoring a unique facet of the institution’s historical identity.
