Good question—a quick thread search shows that we haven't covered it (but we all know what a thread search is worth). That said, once upon a time there was the most amazing Walker & Eisen down on Hill Street that looked like this:

Another great post,
Beaudry. We haven't seen 439 South Hill Street under either of those names before, but it did crop up as the Subway Terminal Office branch of the Citizens Savings Bank and Trust when I did my round-up of their locations.
Noircitydame kindly found some pictures and information in
post #20884. They showed the building as the Peoples National Bank and the National Bank of Commerce. I followed up with a few longer shots showing different signage in
