The Bank of Hominy, located at West Main Street and South Price Avenue in Hominy, Oklahoma, is a two-story Richardsonian Romanesque structure built in 1906, two years after the state's oil boom. Constructed of native sandstone with a modest footprint of approximately 25 by 40 feet, the building features a flat roof topped by a 2-foot parapet and bears a masonry inscription reading "The Bank of Hominy" between its floors. One of only four such banks erected in Osage County between 1904 and 1911, it served as the town's sole bank until ceasing operations in 1938 during the Great Depression. After closure, the ground floor was converted into an auto parts store while the upper level remained professional office space. Despite the addition of two large display windows on the ground floor, the building has undergone minimal architectural changes since its inception. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, it stands as both the oldest bank building in Hominy and one of the finest examples of Richardsonian Romanesque applied to commercial architecture in the county.
