Opened in 1918, the Miner's Institute was the result of the combined effort of coal miners belonging to United Mine Workers Locals 848, 264 and 685. Each miner contributed one percent of his annual income to fund construction for the three-story building. Over its long history, the building has served the community as a meeting hall, theater, auditorium, and to draw entertainers to the area. Following the end of mining in the area, the building served primarily as a theater and movie house. On August 28, 1985, the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building is currently closed for renovations.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SCOTT CREDIT UNION MARKS OPENING
OF LEBANON BRANCH WITH RIBBON CUTTINGNewest Illinois Location is located at 101 E Schuetz Street
July15, 2020– A small group of representatives from Scott Credit Union and the Lebanon, IL, Chamber of Commerce met recently to cut the ribbon to mark the opening of SCU’s newest Illinois branch.
The credit union, with headquarters in Edwardsville, IL, recently opened a full-service location at 101 E. Schuetz Street (Route 4) in Lebanon, IL.
The newest SCU location, which was a former bank building, is 3,840 square feet and features a traditional teller line in the lobby and two drive-up teller windows. The location has a drive-up ATM.
“Despite the pandemic, we wanted to mark the opening of the branch with a small ceremony. We are really excited to better serve people in Lebanon and those traveling to and from Scott Air Force Base,” said Scott Credit Union President & CEO Frank Padak. “This marks our commitment to serving the Illinois market. We are pleased to be adding our 19th branch and our 15th in Illinois.”
The new Lebanon Branch is part of Scott Credit Union’s strategic growth plan, which includes adding branches to better serve members in Illinois, Padak added.
“We want to be convenient so our 145,000 members can take advantage of the value we offer,” he said. “We welcome the residents in Lebanon and the area around it to see why we are a great money-saving alternative.”
Scott Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative. When people open accounts at the credit union, they become a member and an owner. Because of its not-for-profit structure, Scott Credit Union has given $12 million back to members through a bonus dividend and loan interest rebate over the past 12 years. In November of 2019, the local credit union gave over $1 million back to its members.
“Our cooperative structure is really the best for consumers,” Padak added. “We don’t answer to a small group of stockholders. We answer to our members. Because of that structure, we pay more on our members’ savings, charge less when they need to borrow and keep fees low.”
Scott Credit Union currently has 19 area locations: Scott Air Force Base; East Belleville; Fairview Heights; Collinsville; O’Fallon; Edwardsville; Waterloo; Highland; West Belleville; Mascoutah; Troy; Wood River; Lebanon; Columbia; Ladue, MO; Crestwood, MO; Ferguson, MO; at Ballpark Village in St. Louis; and its Home Office in Edwardsville.
