Route 66 Visitors Center Downtown Dwight

Architecture

Beautiful historic architecture abounds throughout Dwight, but the centerpiece can be found Downtown: The Frank Lloyd Wright-designed First National Bank of Dwight. Not only is the building an early example of Wright’s Prairie School style of architecture, it’s also one of only 3 banks he designed – and the only one still in use as a bank!
