Morris Building & Loan

Morris Building and Loan of Morris, Illinois, was organized on February 27, 1917. The primary purpose of the organization was to encourage thrifty workmen to build and own their own homes at near-rent prices. The business was first conducted from the Matteson Ace Hardware store in Morris. Later, it moved to the Hall-Hynds building and made several more moves to different locations until 1959, when the first company-owned building was constructed at Jefferson and Wauponsee streets. In 1981, this property was sold to the City of Morris for the City Hall and Police Department. That same year, Morris Building & Loan built a new facility at Jefferson Street and Division Street (Route 47), where we are still located today. On April 21, 2008, Morris Building and Loan merged with Harvard Savings Bank, which was subsequently acquired by State Bank in August 2016.

In December 2016, First Secure Community Bank acquired Morris Building & Loan. Today, Morris Building & Loan serves both the business and personal financial needs of the community by offering cash and checking services, loan and credit options, and savings and investment strategies.
