WCIS Bank
The WCIS Bank is a historic and unusual bank building at 365 Main Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. It is fashioned out of two separate buildings, each of which has served as a home for the Worcester County Institution for Savings, the county's first chartered savings bank (in 1828). The older part of the building, from c. 1851, is at the corner of Foster and Norwich Street, and was built as a joint venture between the bank's parent, the Worcester Bank, and the Boston and Worcester Railroad Company. It is a granite structure three stories high, decorated in Italianate styling. The WCIS in 1906 moved to a new building at the corner of Main and Foster (365 Main Street), another granite three story building with large Doric columns in the center of its main facade. Needing additional space, the bank repurchased the Foster Street building, and joined the two together in 1953.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for WCIS Bank )〕 The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.〔 ==See also==
