The People's Federal Savings and Loan Association in Sidney is an early-modern building in western Ohio, designed by Chicago architect Louis Sullivan, the mentor of Frank Lloyd Wright. It was designed and built in 1917 for use by Peoples Federal Savings and Loan Association, which still operates out of it. It is one of a handful of banks designed by Sullivan between 1908 and 1919 for small communities in the central United States. The building is a National Historic Landmark.
People's Federal Savings and Loan Association is located at 101 East Court Street on the corner of South Ohio Street in Sidney across from the famed Spot restaurant (where President George W. Bush ate in 2004). It lies also across the street from the Gothic revival Monumental Building and the Second Empire-style Shelby County courthouse.
It is sometimes called the Thrift Building because the word THRIFT is prominently displayed in the artwork above its main entrance.
