Farmer's National Bank - Beaver Falls PA

The Farmer’s National Bank of Beaver Falls was organized in April 1893 with Frank F. Bierly, a leading businessman, as President. The bank occupied a prime location at #1028 Seventh Avenue. In the early 1930’s, in the midst of the Great Depression, the bank directors purchased the old Municipal Building at #1101 Seventh Avenue for $110,000. The building was razed and a magnificent new Farmer’s National Bank (shown above) was opened in 1936. The bank underwent numerous mergers over the years and closed in 1998 while serving as a branch of the National City Bank. It sat vacant for some time but is currently the home of an auction house.
