The Old Bank District is located at the intersection of 4th and Main Streets. Even though not a separate district, the term 'Old Bank District', or OBD, was coined when the area was redeveloped a few years ago by pioneer re-use developer Tom Gilmore. The Old Bank District was a major catalyst to Downtown's current residential boom as the first conversion of office space to residential use under the Adaptive Reuse Ordinance.

Lying just east of what's traditionally known as the Historic Core, this district is named quite literally - it is made up of several grand old bank buildings that have been converted into lofts. Betwixt and between them lie the Old Bank District's social apex - Pete's Cafe and Bar - along with new watering holes and restaurants.

During area art walks and weekend nights, there's a sense of community in the streets, lots of dogs out for walks and buzz about whose loft the party's is located.
