The Bank of Bigheart, located at 308 W. Main Street in Barnsdall, Oklahoma, is a Richardsonian Romanesque commercial building completed in 1911 during the height of the Osage County oil boom. Originally constructed to serve the bank in the then-named town of Bigheart, the building remained in use until the bank's closure in the 1930s. One of four small Richardsonian Romanesque bank buildings erected in Osage County between 1904 and 1911—alongside the Bank of Hominy, Bank of Burbank, and Osage Bank of Fairfax—it became the oldest surviving commercial structure in Barnsdall (the town's name after 1922). The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
