WHEELING'S FIRST BANK was in this former ice cream store attached to Fassbender's Hardware Store on the southeast corner of Milwaukee Avenue and Dundee Road. It was Wheeling State Bank, founded in 1921 by a group of local businessmen.
NEW BANK BUILDING on the southwest corner was opened in 1927 and contained a drug store, real estate office and a beauty shop. The telephone exchange was on the second floor.
