Its 1890 construction is significant as one of the few buildings erected after Fort Benton’s heyday and before homesteaders flocked to Montana in the twentieth century. Arched windows and front corner quoins add visual interest to this historic institution, which later accommodated the Chouteau County Bank and First Bank System. The ornate, one-story extension at the rear was added in 1918.","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"Private","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/d3c6e9a5-b840-497a-a601-6986671c1bad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read about the Fort Benton Historic District</a>","<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/b28d7f01-2242-47fa-a565-8ac14f9adeba/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See photos in the Fort Benton Historic District</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://mail.historicmt.org/files/fullsize/5b8fe808489c6d6f34ba823b7ce7ffe8.jpg":{"id":1984,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Stockmen&#039;s National Bank","description":"Stockmen&#039;s National Bank.
