The following was written by the Mount Horeb Area Historical Society Archives in October of 2013.

138 East Main Street, Mount Horeb, Wisconsin

"This brick NeoClassical Revival building was erected for the Mount Horeb Bank in 1924-1925, but has served as the Mount Horeb Municipal Building since 1943. The Bank/Municipal Building exhibits fine NeoClassical details, executed in stone, including the shouldered architrave framing the front door, an entablature with triglyphs and guttae, and decorative blocks representing dairying and farming.

The Mount Horeb Bank was the first local bank and was founded in 1891. Herman B. Dahle was president, Thomas J. Lingard was the cashier, and Onon B. Dahle was the third stockholder. These three were the officers of the bank through 1903. Herman Dahle was president until at least 1919; Thomas Lingard was cashier until at least 1919. From at least 1921 until at least 1928, Lingard was president, and Jacob G. Lingard was cashier.

The Mount Horeb Bank was previously located at 105 East Main Street. This bank building opened May 2, 1925. The bank closed in 1932, and was absorbed by the Mount Horeb State Bank (100 South First Street). In 1942, the Village of Mount Horeb purchased the building for $12,000. Some improvements were made, and the Village offices moved into the first floor space. Commercial rental and public space was maintained on the second and third floors until 1984, when the building was extensively remodeled, and an elevator installed.

Since that time, the Village offices (including the Police Department) have occupied the first and second floors, while the Mount Horeb Area Historical Society has occupied the third floor. Other second and third floor tenants have included Edna Sharer's Charm Beauty Shop, dentists Dr. Edward Mithus and Dr. Waldo Brager, attorneys Carl Danhouser and Martin Tollund, Ralph Dahle Insurance, and the public library. The post office was also located in the building from 1925 through 1934, when John Dysland was postmaster.

Henry Eggers' wagon-making shop was located in an earlier two-story building on this site from its construction in 1882 until at least 1887. The building housed John Dahlen and Louis Martin's harness shop, as well as a jewelry shop, from about 1893 until about 19*04. In 1905, there was a restaurant in the earlier building, and in 1915, a billiard parlor, to confectionery between 1901 and 1916.

This property was owned by the Mount Horeb Bank from at least 1920 until 1932, by the Mount Horeb State bank from 1932 until 1942, and by the Village of Mount Horeb since 1942 (as of 2013)."
