A.E. Forinash was a master craftsman, stone mason and
cabinetmaker. He was one of the stone masons who did much of the stone
work on this building. This fine stone building was at one time a bawdy
saloon of the early days and then served as a formal, dignified bank.
The large arched wine cellar beneath it is still preserved in its old,
original state. The Wabaunsee County Economic Development currently
operates out of this building.
