to independent investors.  In 1965, control was sold to the Murphy family.The
current building was built in 1910 and remains the same except for two canopies.  
In 1974 the interior was expanded and remodeled into the adjoining building which
was the site of the David McWilliams store, the first store built in 1855 in Dwight.

located above the front windows and one directly across from it inside the bank
lobby.
