Cen
Bank 109 Yellowstone Trail Buffalo Lake, MN 55314 Phone: (320) 833-5325 Web: www.cenbank.com The Bank of Buffalo Lake opened for business in 1893 at the corner of Main & Yellowstone Trail in Buffalo Lake. On January 16, 1901 the Bank of Buffalo Lake was incorporated to become the State Bank of Buffalo Lake . A new brick building was constructed just to the west of the existing building in 1955 with a grand opening occurring on July 23, 1955. This portion of the bank still remains as the west half of the bank where the Safe Deposit Boxes and The teller line at the State Bank of Buffalo Lake in 1908 teller line are located. 1981 brought with it the addition of the east half of the building and a new drive up window. The grand opening for the remodeling occurred on October 17, 1981. The latest unplanned remodeling was due to a tornado which hit the community at 7:42 pm on June 24, 2003 when a tornado caused extensive damage to the building. As we are dedicated to our community and customers we were open for business immediately following the devastation. |
