First National Bank Building
(currently Firststar)
201 West Second Street
Davenport, Iowa 52801

Completed in 1924, these bronze figures are above the entrance to the First National Bank Building. The carved figures tell the process of making coins in four stages -beginning with mining the ore on the left-hand side. Stylically, the entrance is consistent with the building's Renaissance Revival architecture.

The eight stone relief figures within the entrance's archway were sculpted by Adolph A. Weinman, who designed the Mercury dime. These figures represent banking, security, philosophy, law, commerce, industry, agriculture and labor. The rest of the stone work and all of the bronze work was created by Corrado Parducci.

In 1983, the building was named to the National Register of Historic Places. It is built on the same site as the bank's original building (built in 1857) which was destroyed in a fire.
