Built in 1900, the Stone Bank is a Bottineau, ND mainstreet cornerstone
Class reunion was a great chance to visit the Stone Bank -- and make a class donation to the project.
Built to withstand prairie fires, Bottineau County Bank helped build the community and failed in 1923.

Smart Growth USA supports the
Stone Bank:
We made great progress in 2022, fully enclosing the back of the building with new walls and roof. In the coming year, we need your support to cut stone and reattach it to south facade.
Restoring a Main St. Landmark
Bottineau County Bank – built in 1900 of stones carried by glaciers and shaped by pioneer hands – is a Main Street fixture in Bottineau, N.D. Now known as the Stone Bank, the building began to show its age and was near condemnation in 2011. We formed a nonprofit, bought the building, disassembled its back to repair the foundation. Now we're ready to put it together again with handicap accessibility and a sturdy frame. We plan to enclose the back in fall 2020 with support from donors like you. Ready to give? Details at right. Preservation ROCKS!
TIME TO CUT STONE! This winter, we need to cut the stone for the south facade. It will be costly. To help, visit our PayPal page.
