The First National Bank Building, now known as the Central Place Apartments, is a historic building located in Fort Dodge, Iowa, United States. The First National Bank was established in 1866 and grew to become the city's principal financial institution.[2] Its officers and directors throughout its existence were among the city's most prominent businessmen. The present building was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Liebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen in the Early Commercial style. The six-story structure rises to a height of 90 feet (27 m)[3] The building has subsequently been renovated into apartments. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003,[1] and as a contributing property in the Fort Dodge Downtown Historic District in 2010.
