This is the site of the first public building built by the Highland Park Building Company in 1868. It contained the first city offices, community and religious meeting rooms. It was bought by James McDonald and became McDonald's Store and Hall. The city's first bank opened here in 1899. The building was razed in 1907. The present building, now the First National Bank of Highland Park was completed in 1909.
