The Bank of Hominy located in Hominy, Oklahoma was erected in 1906.
The Bank of Hominy is a two-story sandstone building that is the oldest bank building in Hominy. After the discovery of oil and gas on Osage land in 1904-1905, there was an increased demand for services such as banks. One of four banks built during the peak of the oil boom in Osage County when the area shifted from being a small rural market connected to the surrounding ranching region to a community that needed extensive banking services. In the years following the oil boom, over $300 million in royalties made Osage County one of the areas with the highest per capita income in the United States.
The Bank of Hominy is one of the best examples of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture in a commercial building in Osage County. Richardsonian Romanesque features include the rock-faced exterior finish giving the building an overall sense of heaviness.The building served as a bank from 1906 until it was closed during the Great Depression in 1938.
This photo and description of the Bank of Hominy are part of materials from the nomination form for the Richardsonian Romanesque Banks of Osage County for the National Register of Historic Places.
