This beautifully decorated building stands on the corner of Neperan Road and South Broadway/Route 9/Albany Post Road. An inscription high up on the building reveals it to have once been the Westchester County Savings Bank.

This building is historic, in that it housed one of the oldest financial institutions in the county.

The Westchester County Savings Bank was first organized in 1853, according to the book History of the Tarrytowns and the Tarrytown Centennial Album. The bank, Westchester’s and Tarrytown’s oldest until it merged with another bank in 1971, was first started up in a hat store on Main Street. The operation moved to the corner of Main Street and Neperan Road and occupied a frame house in 1864.

The frame house was then demolished and replaced with a Spanish Renaissance style yellow brick building in 1898. This building closely resembled its current look, which was achieved after an expansion and modernization in 1933.

While Westchester County Savings Bank has since vacated the spot, other banks have taken its place.

…

The building has two floors and a basement. The first floor has your typical bank look, with 4,027 square feet of space. The 4,2027-square-foot basement contains a vault.

Upstairs, where the bank’s original owner had built a luxury apartment, has been converted into an office space.(Patch)
