Scott State Bank, originally named The Exchange Bank, was established in 1887. A. R. Scott, the founder, had an iron safe in his mill office and a number of his customers would leave money in it for safekeeping. The banking business was conducted in the mill office until the office at 108 West Main (now Shelbyville Insurance Services) was built in 1898.
