Middletown Is Historical Part XVIII

Nehemiah Hubbard:

The building at 315 Main Street in Middletown was built in 1928 by the Middletown Savings Bank. Established in 1825, the bank was first located in Samuel Southmayd’s pharmacy on the corner of Main and William Streets. From 1838 to 1837, the bank was located in its own building, the Old Banking House Block at 319-323 Main Street, next door to the future site of their 1929 building. The bank then moved into a new building further south on Main Street and finally into their new Neoclassical structure at 315 Main Street. The Middletown Savings Bank became Liberty Bank in 1975.
