The State National Bank is a historic building in El Paso, Texas. It was built in 1921 for the State National Bank, El Paso's oldest bank founded four decades earlier.[1] It was built on the site of a former building for the same bank completed in 1881, which was El Paso's "first real building."[2] The 1921 building was designed by Trost & Trost, and its construction cost $165,000.[1] With "the latest technological developments", it cost $250,000.[3] The interior was a single lofty room with roof supported by steel girders that eliminated need for interior columns.[3] The bank moved into the building in January 1922.[1] It was expanded by renting adjacent property 10 years later, which was annexed permanently in 1942. It was further expanded to the south in 1948.[3]
The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 24, 1980.
