The Pottsville Citizens Bank, with a capital stock of $15,000 and $140,000 in deposits, opened for business. The bank prospered and, unlike many others, was able to remain open during the Great Depression. In the mid-1930s, the southeastern corner of the building also had a barbershop. A community gathering place, the bank also served as a polling site during elections.
