Nice! "James, John, Mackay was born in Glasgow, Scotland, during the 1820's, as a young man he went to university to study mining. In his late twenties, in 1849, Jamie Mackay was just one of the many professional mining engineers who found themselves in North America and heading west along with the masses of wannabe miners hoping to strike it lucky.
Jamie didn't do too bad mining but he was a born business man and realised there was guaranteed good money to be made supplying wannabe miners with their material needs. He soon became a well respected leading figure in the State's business community and it was no surprise that he was the first to gain a Banking Charter from the State. The Dead Man's Hand branch of Mackay's First National Bank is only one of a dozen or more such branches in towns across the State. It's hardly surprising this banking corporation does so well offering personal banking and securities when bandits and road agents know J. J. Mackay only hires the services of fellow Glaswegian, Allan Pinkerton's Detective Agency to protect and regain stolen valuables on deposit with J.J. Mackay's Bank, after all everyone knows Pinkertons never sleep!"

Very pretty, I saw one up close at Salute. But as Badger says expensive I couldn't spend that much on just one building. |
