Named in the 1883 county history

The history of Bristol County was published 5 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Before the concrete was poured in and after the steel frame work was in place a net work of lead-covered cable was laid in by the Bankers' Electric Protective Association so that no space over six inches wide in floors, roof and walls remained unprotected. If in drilling through the wall one of these cables is severed it causes the burglar. alarm to ring. In addition to this alarm system for the vaults there is a day raid system consisting of buttons located at tellers' wickets, also on the several desks throughout the bank, which provide instant call in case of emergency of any kind, to the central police station, as well as to the burglar alarm on the exterior. This feature is part of the communication system which is very complete, and includes telephone services, bells, buzzers, etc.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Bristol County, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
