When Old Meets New

Spaces That Work

A nod to the past with a vision to the future was the end goal for the First Western Bank & Trust building on Front Avenue in downtown Bismarck. “Our intention was to honor the downtown of Bismarck and to envision what we and the architects see for the future,” explains Chad Johnson, Market President of First Western Bank & Trust in downtown Bismarck. “You’ll see a lot of wood and that was our tip of the cap to the past of Bismarck’s downtown. A lot of the glass and the steel is to represent the future with the redevelopment of downtown.” These never-before-seen pictures showcase the thoughtfulness of everyone who worked so hard on this project.
