Description of the property

CHECK ONE ZORIGINAL SITE -MOVED DATE_ The Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank is located at 516 Main Street on the corner of Walnut Street. It stands opposite Mechanics Hall (NR) and next to the Day Building (potential NR). It is one of the few fine iate nineteenth century commercial buildings remaining on Main Street, an area which has been heavily altered during this century. The six story corner building is constructed of buff brick with limestone trim. Its two bay Main Street elevation is joined to a four bay Walnut Street elevation by a rounded projecting corner bay. A wide frieze with the words "Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank Building" on both elevations, the date "1891" on the corner bay, and geometric ornamentation between runs between the third and fourth floors, lessening the impression of verticality. A projecting modillion cornice caps the design..

Fenestration on the second and third floors consists of tripled 2/2 sash in each baywith glazed transoms on the second floors. On the fourth and fifth floors, paired 2/2 sash are linked in twin arches whose simple profiles are en- hanced by the use of molded bricks laid to present a curved rather than square edge. The wall is corbelled below the paired 2/2 sash of the sixth floor. The major alteration to the building has occurred on the ground floor where the original plate glass and cast iron storefronts were replaced in 1949 by limestone to match the existing trim. The sympathetic alteration has adhered to the rhythm of the upper floors.

Statement of significance

/ARCHITECT The Five Cents savings Bank, one of the tew remaining structures of its period and type in downtown Worcester, is significant for its architecture and for indo savin g rans, the continuous role it has played in the city's banking history. It was designed in 1891 by Stephen C. Earle, a prominent local architect, in ' a restrained commercial idiom which was both early and unusual for Worcester. Another early and innovative design feature was the use of buff brick with limestone trim, a scheme which was to be followed in later buildings such as its neighbor, the Day Building. The bank was originally incorporated in 1854 by E.B.

Stoddard, Reverend Edward Everett Hale and other far seeing citizens "to attract the attention of the young and induce them to form habits of economy and industry." Business was first conducted from the bookstore of' the bank's first treasurer, Clarendon Harris. When its"first permanent home was constructed, the Five Cent Savings Bank occupied the second floor while the Quinsigamond Bank occupied the first. After the Quinsigamond was liquidated in 1903, the Five Cents Savings Bank took over both floors. By 1953 the bank had expanded to occupy the entire building. The building remains in banking use, owned and occupied by the Consumers Savings Bank.

Department of the Interior Heritage Conservation & Recreation Service Washington. D. C. 20240 Dear Dr. Murtagh: In response to the notification dated July 31, 1978, from the Keeper of the National Register that the Day Building and the Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank building in Worcester, Massachusetts, have been nominated to the National Register, the Consumers Savings Bank wishes to comment as follows: Based on the studies and conclusions of consulting architects and engineers, the Bank concurs in'the opinion that the original Day Building Structure D on the attached plan) and the Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank building (Structure E) are of sufficient architectural significance to be included in the National Register.

We do not believe, however, that the subsequent additions to the Day Building (Structures A, B and C) are of the quality of architectural significance as to merit their designation to the National Register. In order to preserve, utilize, and rehabilitate the Day Building (Structure D) and the Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank Building (Structure E), the consulting architects and planners unanimously agree that the later-built structures (Structures A, B and C) must be removed to provide access and parking for the other buildings. This can and will be accomplished with no harm to the other buildings. It is the general opinion of most authorities and consultants that it is vital that the streetscape opposite the rehabilitated Mechanics Hall be preserved, and the Bank concurs in and supports this position.

To this end, the Bank is beginning a program of research and study toward rehabilitation of the facades of the structures facing Main Street. In Offices conveniently located throughout the Greater Worcester Area CONSUMERS SAVINGS BANK August 23, 1978 Dr. William J. Murtagh Page Iwo order to make such an undertaking economically viable and justifiable for the Bank's depositors, it is necessary to remove the later-built structures, in the rear, which do not contribute to the historical significance of the Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank Building and the original Day Building, and to replace them with an area for parking and access to the rehabilitated buildings. The Bank, therefore, supports the designation of the Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank Building and the Day Building as originally constructed to the National Register.

Because of their lack of the necessary quality of architectural significance, the Bank requests that the later-built structures not be named to the Register. of the Board of Trustees indicating their support of this position is attached. Sincerely othe nsillm Ronald W.

FRM BINK AND MURTAGA AND HERRINGTON. Dr. William J. Murtagh Keeper of the National Register National Park Service Washington, D.C. 20013 Dear Dr. Murtagh: The old Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank (316 Main Street) and the Day Building complex next door (300 - 310 Main Street) in Worcester, Massachu- setts were recently voted eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places by the Massachusetts Historical Commission.

This nomination was the result of a comprehensive survey of Worcester buildings conducted by an independent architectural historian retained by the Worcester Heritage Pres- ervation Society and reviewed by the staff of the Massachusetts Historical Com- - mission. We have been working with Consumers Savings Bank (the owners of the buildings) since last spring in an pffort to find an economically feasible way to rehabilitate and save these structures. We are delighted that the Consumers Savings Bank after careful considera- tion has decided to preserve and rehabilitate the Main Street buildings. The Bank and its consulting architects and engineers have concluded that the buildings at the rear, which are designated A, B & C must be demolished in order to provide necessary access and parking for the Main Street buildings, which are designated D, E & F.

While we feel that the Register nomination was correct in including Buildings D, E & F, we believe that the preservation and rehabilitation of the Main Street buildings (D, E & F) are so important to the Main Street streetscape and are of such significance historically and architecturally that they simply must take precedence over buildings A, B & C. This is all the more important because Mechanics Hall, now almost completely restored, is directly across the street from buildings D, E & F. We congratulate the Trustees and officers of Consumers Bank for their willingness to explore the possibilities and their commitment to the preserva- tion and rehabilitation of their historic Main Street buildings. May the results be as affirmative and as successful as the restoration of Mechanics Hall. Cordially, Rickard WQeasbors Richard W.

Ruchala: Re: Day Building (300-310 Main Street, 2-6 Walnut Street, 8-10 Walnut Street) Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank (316 Main Street), Worcester, Massachusetts Project number: MA-82-0231 I have concluded the review of your appeal in which you requested that I overrule the finding of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Director that the work undertaken on the Day Building and the Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank cannot be a "certified rehabilitation" for purposes of section 212 ,of the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981. The basis for denial of certification was that the project did not meet the Secretary of the Interior's "Standards for Rehabilitation" due to the Pfoposed demolition of the two later additions of the Day Building (2-6 Walnut Street, 8-10 Walnut Street).

The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 established significant tax incentives for the rehabilitation of certified historic structures provided that the rehabilitation is generally consistent with the historic character of the building and/or district in which it is located. The Act states that only those buildings subject to depreciation that have been substantially rehabilitated and that retain 75 percent or more of the existing exterior walls in the rehabilitation process may qualify for the preservation tax incentives.

With these statutory requirements in mind, and after careful considera- tion of the information presented in your appeal, I have determined that the work to be performed on the Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank meets the Secretary of the Interior's "Standards for Rehabilitation" and may be considered a "certified rehabilitation" upon completion of the project if the work is carried out as specified in your application. Regarding the Day Building, I have determined that the finding of the Regional Director was correct in that the proposed demolition of the two later additions does not meet the Standards, and that the proposed work for this particular structure may not be certified for purposes of the tax incentives. The reasons for my decision on the Day Building are discussed below.

The Regionel Director stated in his denial letter of February 18, 1982, that he considered the two later additions te be of historical and architectural significance. This finding was strongly reiterated by the Acting Keeper of the National Register of Historie Places after carefully revieving the nomination in the context of the appeal and your rehabilitation proposal. Even though the original portion of the Day Building will be preserved in your rehabilitation proposal, I agree with the determination that the substantial desolition work would not constitute adequate preservation of this National Register resource. Purthermore, I have considerable concern that the rehabilitation would not meet another statutory requirement of the law since 75 percent of the existing exterior walls will not be retained following rehabili- tation.

This determination, hovever, is one made by the Internal Revenue Service and not the National Park Service. Let me assure you that the economic necessity for demolishing the two later additions in order to construct parking facilities was thoroughly considered in my review of your appeal. In the final snalysis, however, the retention of the original structure and demolitien ol the two later additions would not preserve the historic charaçter of the atructure or the district in which it is located. It ia for this reason that I Day Building. Cents Savings Bank and the Aey Building as two separate projects, I have determined that the proposed rehabilitation of the forner meets the Secretary's Standards while the rehabili- tation of the latter fails to meet the regulatory and statutery requirements for the law.

As Department of Interior regula- tions (36 CFR Part 67) state, this decisios shall be the final decision regarding denial of certification for this particular rehabilitation project.
