The Farmers State Bank, at 601 Main in Adams, Nebraska, was built in 1908. It served as a bank from 1908 to 1936 and then served as a post office. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1][2]

It was deemed significant architecturally "as a good example of a small town bank, a characteristic type in Nebraska", having "two principle [sic] facades that displayed fine materials and dignified styling", and was judged to be the best surviving early 20th century commercial structure in Adams.[2]

In 1992, the building was used as a dentist's office.[2]
