Charmayne Campton's Company Details
In 1883, a group of men got together, to establish an organization whose primary purpose was to help its members purchase homes. The first organizational meeting was held on August 27, 1883 in the German Base Ball Club and Entertaining Society Hall in Effingham. The Association charter was issued by the Illinois Secretary of State on September 4, 1883. The original name of the association was The Washington Loan and Building Association. The name was changed in 1956 to Washington Savings and Loan Association, and in 1992 the association changes its charter and became Washington Savings Bank. The association became a federally insured institution in 1958.The associations' assets at the end of its first year of business totaled $4,703.65. As of December 31, 2013 the bank's assets are in excess of $254 million.The association has had 7 presidents. A. Gravenhorst served from 1883-1913, B. Mussman 1913-1930, H.
