Marker Text: ​ George Washington Littlefield (1842-1920) Came to Texas from Mississippi in  1850. After serving in Terry's Texas Rangers in the Civil War, he made his fortune ranching and riving cattle. He moved to Austin in 1883 and, in 1890, established the American National Bank, which included a ladies' banking department. He hired architect C.H. Page, Jr., to design this beaux arts classical building, which opened in 1912 with a rooftop garden. His bank was on the ground floor. For the corner entrance, he commissioned Tiffany's of New York to cast bronze, bas-relief doors by sculptor Daniel Webster. These were later donated to the University of Texas, of which Littlefield was a major benefactor. (2002)
