We have been trying to visit as many of Louis Sullivan’s jewel box banks as possible- this one is a gem. Now it acts as a visitors center for the city of Grinnell. No fee to visit and photos are allowed- we wandered around freely and enjoyed the displays talking about the history of the building. Definitely worth a visit- check out Grinnell campus while you are here.

Came in out of the cold to a warm seating area like a waiting room with video screens and magazines. There a couple of women were waiting for their husbands while sipping free beverages from the cappuccino/espresso/hot chocolate dispenser. There was also a free soda dispenser (like a nice break room). The retail shop is amazing with an assortment on display. The really great thing is the giant warehouse attached allows you to order items to see and touch, before you purchase. And they have no qualms about opening the packages, even if its to compare items. Most places wont open unless you plan on buying. Extremely informed employees and so nice.
