This is the tallest building in El Dorado and is an example of both classical revival and Venetian Gothic styles as designed by Mann & Stern. It served as the corporate headquarters of Lion Oil Corp. until the 1970s. As you might notice from the picture, the building now houses the main office of the First Financial Bank. |
