Springfield Safe Deposit and Trust Company Building

The Springfield Safe Deposit and Trust Company Building at 127 State Street in Springfield is a four-story Art Deco bank completed in 1933 to designs by the Boston firm Thomas M. James Company, with construction by the A.E. Stephens Company. Clad in Indiana limestone with carved figures symbolizing safety, wisdom and courage, its soaring banking hall retains a mural by Boston artist Carroll Bill and massive steel-and-concrete vaults. The bank chose to build during the Great Depression as a testament to its stability and to stimulate local employment. It is significant as an outstanding, well-preserved example of Art Deco architecture, and now houses the Community Music School of Springfield.
