The Blair County Banking Company was organized in 1874. After operating at several locations, the new bank was built on the present site in 1891. On October 8, 1931, it consolidated with the First National Bank. 
    In 1952, extensive remodeling and expansion took place; the original top of the building was removed, and the adjoining Ben Crampton Barber Shop was purchased by the bank. The exterior and interior of the building recently was refurbished. Noteworthy is the beautiful ceiling and lighting. 
    The building now houses the Tyrone Branch of the M & T Bank.
