he Home Building Association Bank (or Home Building Association Company) is a historic building located at 6 West Main Street in Newark, Ohio,
and was designed by noted Chicago architectLouis Sullivan. It was one of three banks designed by Sullivan in 1914,
the other two being in Grinnell, Iowa and in West Lafayette, Indiana.
For this project the architect was given a narrow lot but made the building larger by making it two stories high, something that he did not typically do in his banks.

The Purdue State Bank Building is a historic structure in West Lafayette, Indiana, United States designed by American architect
and Frank Lloyd Wright mentor Louis Sullivan. Completed in 1914, the bank is the smallest and least expensive of Sullivan's "Jewel Boxes,
" a series of Midwestern banks designed in the modern style at the end of his career.

Although it was not designed as a bank, and has never served as such, the building is nonetheless considered to be one of Sullivan's "Jewel Boxes,
" a series of banks designed and built in the Midwest between 1909 and 1919. As in the other "Jewel Boxes," Sullivan included many windows,
both on the street side and in the skylight that allowed a great deal of natural light inside.
The simple massing of this small, rectangular building with its clearly defined structure makes it typical of Sullivan's later work.
The same massing, and similar detailing,
particularly the entrance had been used by Sullivan's former associates Purcell & Elmslie in their slightly larger Exchange State Bank in Grand Meadow, Minnesota in 1910 and it is possible that this design influenced Sullivan. (Brooks) Sullivan was assisted in the design by his draftsman, Parker Berry, who drew the perspectives.
