A 1988 photo of the Gratz National Bank, located on the south side of West Market Street, Gratz, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The bank opened in 1909 and up to the time the picture was taken had reorganized in 1934 and underwent renovations in 1955 and 1972. The church at right in the photograph was the Simeon’s Evangelical Congregational Church which at the time in 1988 was still operating as a church. After it closed, the bank purchased the building to use as office space and connected it to the main bank building, but retained its exterior appearance.
