Second Cambridge Savings Bank Building

Matched to this establishment on the distinguishing word building, savings.

Named in the 1908 county history

The history of Middlesex County was published 12 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The business was transferred to the present commodious and well appointed banking rooms in the Savings Bank Building on Satvirday, August 1 1th, 1906. On the opening of the doors at eight o'clock that morning, several customers were in waiting, each desiring to make the first deposit. This distinction fell to G. C. W. Fuller, who had been a depositor for more than forty years, having had an account in the Harvard Bank. The Safety Vault Department was opened at this time, many renters having selected boxes before the removal. The demand for boxes since that time has far exceeded expectations and has necessitated the addition of two nests of boxes, each nearly as large as that originally provided.
