Context
Saline Savings Bank was incorporated in 1908 at its original location, 109 W. Michigan Ave. It had total assets of $72,709.99 and recorded a net profit of $60.08 in December of that year. Bank documents were printed in both English and German during the bank's early years. In 1915 property was purchased on the corner of S. Ann Arbor and W. Michigan Avenue and a new bank building erected. The front facade of the new bank had a neo-classical entry with eliptical arch over a plain entabulature and two unadorned columns on projecting bases. It came to be known as "The one-story bank in the corner." The new president, George Burkhart, saw the bank successfully through World War I and the Depression. After his death in 1933, Lee Tescher became president, and growth continued through the World War II years.
