This article talks about the history of the Roberts Exchange Bank.  It details how the first bank sat where the Seng Implement was located and at that time it faced to the east and was located on Main Street.  It was destroyed in the first Roberts fire in the 1870's.  Another bank was built but this time it faced to the north and was fronted on Green Street.

A unique fire alarm in Roberts.

This is located under where the water tower stood.  Looks like lettering on the side of the building behind the alarm for the Roberts Exchange Bank.
