VermontContext
This Greek Revival brick bank building at the corner of Main and North Maple streets was constructed in 1842 to house the Bank of Vergennes. The bank had been established in 1825 and operated first in the William White building at the corner of Main and Green streets. In 1865 the bank was rechartered as the National Bank of Vergennes. The building was also the second home for the Susan Strong Library. The library began in two third-floor rooms at the Stevens House in 1876 and moved to the back ell of the bank building in 1886. All the books from this library were transferred to the Bixby Memorial Library when it opened next door in 1912.Collection
