Stepping Back into Time: A Sense of Yesteryears at the Five Cents Savings Bank,

Take a journey back in time as we delve into the Five Cents Savings Bank, a captivating relic from the revival era, radiating warmth on 316 Main Street in Worcester

Once bustling with life, serving as the heart of commerce in Worcester, the Five Cents Savings Bank stands tall, a testament to a bygone era, exuding a charm that whispers of days long past. Established by Stephen Earle in 1891, this grand edifice was built in the enchanting Romanesque Revival style, a harmonious blend of limestone and buff brick, the rounded corner bay adding a distinctive grace. With the Quinsigamond Bank waning in 1902, the Five Cents Savings Bank grew to embrace the entire building by 1953, broadening its storied history.

In 1978, this architectural marvel was honored by being included on the National Register of Historic Places, and in 1980, it joined the Mechanics' Hall District. As we approach 2023, this historical landmark prepares to step into a new chapter, transforming into the future headquarters of Cunningham & Associates, a National Specialty Tax and Consulting Firm. Here, the past and the future dance in harmony, preserving the zest of yesterday while embracing the promise of tomorrow.
