Laramie State Bank Building - View this location on map At a time when banks usually looked like forbidding fortresses, this Art Deco-style building was given a colorful exterior covered in coins, beehives, harvests, squirrels, and other symbols of savings and prosperity. The rich imagery, sculpted by artisans of the Northwestern Terra Cotta Company, are made of a versatile baked-clay material manufactured in Chicago. It represents some of the city's finest decorative terra cotta work. 5200 W. Chicago Ave., Chicago , IL Historical
