The German Bank Building, known also as Louisville Home Federal Building, is a historic building in Downtown Louisville, Kentucky, United States. It is located on the corner of Fifth and Market streets. The two-story structure was built in 1914 in a Beaux-Arts style with a limestone facade. In 1918, the name of the building was changed to Louisville National Bank. This was during World War I when many institutions changed names to avoid association with Germany.{{Cite book|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: German Bank Building / Louisville Home Federal Building|url={{NRHP url|id=84000029}} |format=pdf|date=March 1984 |author=M.
