• Another view of the Centerburg Savings Bank in an early vintage postcard scene of the town.

  • After its closure in 1931, the bank was reorganized and has operated ever since. Today it is known as the First Federal Savings & Loan Association of Centerburg.

  • The Centerburg Savings Bank, where an embezzlement scandal began to unfurl in 1931. (Submitted photo courtesy of the Centerburg Public Library.)

  • While the building retains its original grandeur, the former building and loan structure has been converted into more mundane uses.

  • This photograph of the Centerburg Building & Loan Association did not identify the people. It is very possible, judging by the period clothing, that all three of the men involved in the 1931 banking scandal are in this picture.
