The People's Federal Savings and Loan Association is a historic bank building at 101 East Court Street in Sidney, Ohio, designed by Chicago architect Louis Sullivan.
A dominant Romanesque Revival archway forms the main entrance, set in a building base of black marble and amid walls of strong reds.
[2] The Sidney People's Federal Savings and Loan Association was one of a series of commissions that architect Louis Sullivan took on late in his career.
These commissions resulted in a collection of bank buildings that have been termed "jewel boxes" for their modest size and ornate appearance.
According to one account of the creation of Sullivan's design, he produced a sketch of it after two days of observing the empty lot where it was to stand.
