Peoples National Bank is a historic building located in Pella, Iowa , United States. It is significant for its association with Herman Rietveld, a local booster and civic leader during the Progressive era . Completed in 1905, the building was designed for Rietveld's progressive ideas that called for dense occupancy which lead to efficiency and lowered the building's costs. When it opened the building housed two banks, two newspaper offices, a printing plant, and space for other offices on the second floor. Rietveld, along with John Rhynsberger and B. H. Van Spanckeren, founded the banks at the time the building was completed. They failed ten years later because of bad business decisions. The building was acquired the following year by the City of Pella who converted it for use as a city hall beginning in 1917. It served that purpose until 2007. This too was an expression of the Progressive era as it consolidated the various functions of the local government in one location symbolizing efficiency and economy.
