Pioneer and Farmers National Bank - Hillsboro, Texas



The Pioneer Bank Building was constructed by the Farmers National Bank in 1887 in Hillsboro, Hill County, Texas.  I've been unable to determine why it is called both Pioneer and Farmers.  Only about 12 feet wide on a corner across the square from the historic Hill County Courthouse, it makes up for its lack in width by being a block long!  It has been occupied by Colonial Trust Company since 1981.

Only 12 feet wide...really? Amazing. You sure wouldn't see a building like this constructed nowadays, would you?! Hope you had a nice Christmas!
