The Bank Building was a notable commercial structure situated at 40-44 South Street in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. Constructed between 1895 and 1896, it stood as an outstanding representation of late 19th-century commercial design and earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Unfortunately, the building was lost to a fire in 2013 and was later torn down.
Description and history
Positioned close to the heart of Uxbridge's business district and facing Uxbridge Town Hall, this three-story edifice was built from red brick and accented with granite, wood, and cast iron details. The street-level floor contained two retail spaces featuring recessed doorways and expansive display windows supported by cast iron Corinthian columns. Separating the first and second stories was a wooden cornice alongside a granite stringcourse. The upper two floors included seven window bays, adorned with ornamental brick panels set between the openings.
Intended for diverse commercial purposes, the Bank Building offered retail shops on its ground level, office space on the second floor, and a spacious assembly hall on the top floor. Early occupants comprised Blackstone National Bank and Uxbridge Savings Bank, both of which had moved from the Capron Building following its fire in 1896. This property functioned as a central location for financial services and business activities until it was destroyed in 2013.
