Notes
  • Significance: The Mechanics Savings Bank building is a fine example of the Neo Classical Revival style of architecture. Its colossal granite fluted Doric columns in antis and the entablature they support with triglyphs, mutules and guttae are characteristic of the style. Architects for the building were Morris & O'Connor of New York who are well known for components of the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford and the Cunard Building in New York. The Mechanics Savings Bank, organized in 1861, is perhaps the oldest banking institution in Hartford still operating under its original name.
