The Story
The Hampden Savings Bank building at 1665 Main Street in Springfield was built in 1918 and designed by architect Max Westhoff in the Classical Revival style. Its limestone facade features a pedimented center entrance bay and large second-story windows set behind a row of Ionic pilasters. The bank had been chartered in 1852, the year of Springfield's incorporation as a city, originally to serve railroad workers, and this was the first building it constructed for its own use. It is significant as a fine local example of Classical Revival design and for its association with the growth of one of the city's leading thrift institutions.
