The First Federal Savings and Loan Association Building is a historic building located in Downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. The three-story Modern building was designed by William F. Cann of the Bank Building and Equipment Corp. of St. Louis.[2] The exterior of the reinforced concrete structure is clad in white Vermont marble. A unique feature of the building was its original drive-thru window. The entrance was off Main Street on the west side of the building, and the customer would literally drive through the building and eventually exit onto West Third Street.[2] The interior drive-thru was eliminated when the building was renovated in 1975, and a new drive-thru was built onto the east side. First Federal Savings and Loan went out of business in 1990. Mercantile Bank took over the building before the whole thing was converted into an office building. Plans call for the building to be connected to the neighboring First Midwest building to create a new urban campus for Scott Community College.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.[3]
