The Winona Savings Bank Building, now the Winona National Bank Historic Downtown Building, is an Egyptian Revival bank building in Winona, Minnesota, United States. It was designed by Chicago-based architect George W. Maher and constructed from 1914 to 1916.[1] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 for having state-level significance in the themes of architecture and commerce.[2] It was nominated for being the largest and best preserved of Minnesota's few early-20th-century Egyptian Revival buildings, and one of Maher's master works in the state.

The bank contains on the third floor of it a taxidermy gallery of African wildlife and guns by bank president EL King.[3] [4]
