Built in 1908, the charming Gateway State Bank, in Iowa, US, has been transformed and is perfect for someone after a home with a history.
The 1,611 sq ft property welcomes you into an open plan kitchen and living room in what used to be the bank’s foyer.
The new owner will prepare dinner on the marble counters where customers used to line up to cash in their cheques a century ago.
Meanwhile the original windows and high ceilings on the lower level let in beams of natural light.
Although the cashier desks have gone, there still remains one tell-tale sign of this quirky property’s past.
Next to the home’s only bathroom is a heavy iron door – previously used to secure the vault where money, valuables, records and documents were kept.
Upstairs is the master bedroom with a wood-burning fireplace and original wood floors.
