Our History: Grandview was established 1854 and as the name implies, the view is GRAND! Grandview is the home of about 1300+ friendly folks & fine citizens, a grump or two and a handful of very colorful local characters! Grandview is primarily a farm & ranch community but our economy is beginning to change with the growth we are experiencing. We are proud of our excellent school system - Go Zebras! We have a brick main street that oddly isn't named Main Street. When most of the town burned down in 1920, the central business district was moved from Main Street, one block south, to Criner Street. Several of our turn of the century buildings survived the big fire. In the very heart of downtown Grandview you will find the Farmers & Merchants National Bank, built in 1904, which in 1999 became home to Pop & Gran's Antiques and More. The store is family owned and operated by Lisa Hill, Nita Redmon and Carla Smith. We considered many names for our store, but chose "Pop & Gran's" in order to honor our grandparents, Claud S. and Nora Mae Hill. Pop & Gran were married in 1917 and moved from Rising Star to Grandview in 1944. They purchased 640 acres of land just a few miles west of Grandview where they operated a cattle ranch up until 1981. They said Pop chose that place because there were several springs and natural ponds, plus it backed up to Chambers Creek which in the 1960's was developed into a conservation lake, now known as Meinen Lake. We had the privilege of purchasing the old F&M Bank building from the Wilkirson family. Around 1900, O. L. Wilkirson was a prominent businessman owning several businesses in Grandview and surrounding areas. He built one city block of buildings on Criner Street in downtown Grandview just after the turn of the century. The Farmers & Merchants Bank was established on March 29, 1904 in this city block. The Bank began operation with Mr. Wilkirson serving as one of the founding Directors and his son Cad T. Wilkirson was Assistant Cashier. The Bank prospered and in 1928, Cad became Vice President with his Father, O.L. serving as President. Because of the depression, on Thanksgiving Day 1930, the bank consolidated with the First National Bank of Grandview. The old Farmers & Merchants Bank was later converted by the Wilkirson family into the Wilkirson Chevrolet Dealership. They removed the marble retaining walls and teller cages and arranged it so that they could drive four vehicles right in to the lobby of the building. Wilkirson Chevrolet operated until the 1960's. After that, it was used for Boy Scout meetings and housed many of the original items and documents up until 1999. Interestingly, the pieces of marble removed from the teller's cages were taken to the home of a family member located on Fourth Street in Grandview and used for a back yard sidewalk and patio floor, where the pieces remain today! The historic F&M Bank was lovingly preserved and cared for by the Wilkirsons for close to 100 years. Oscar Lee Wilkirson, son of Cad T. Wilkirson still resides here in Grandview. We have enjoyed learning about the history of Grandview and the F&M Bank through our many visits with Mr. Wilkirson. He has enhanced our appreciation for this fine building and its history, and entrusted us to continue to care for and preserve this Grandview landmark. We intend to do just that!
