About Us
Security Savings Bank was originally located in a building which was torn down many years ago and where Ben Franklin is now located. Later, it was moved to the former Security Savings Bank Museum located on Broadway. The bank has been at the present location for 73 years. It was moved in 1936 and the site was purchased in 1939. The following is an article that appeared in the EAGLE on April 9, 1936:
“The Security Savings Bank will move about the first day of May to the former Citizen State and First Liberty Bank building on the corner of Broadway and Lucas Avenues. Additional room and better facilities for handling the business of the bank's customers made some change imperative. The bank took a five-year lease on the banking quarters and fixtures in the building with an option to purchase the entire building at the expiration of the lease. There will be much more space in the new location for the bank's files and records. Several hundred safety deposit boxes will become immediately available. Those in the present location are all in use and there is a large waiting list.”
The organizers of the bank were: J.H. Howell, J.P. Clarke, S.H. Williamson, J.J. Garland, George E. Howell, Sylvester Flynn, and T.J. O’Toole. All of these men were local residents and the original seven officers and stockholders who subscribed $15,000 to start the bank. J.H. Howell was the principal force in getting the bank organized and was named the first president. He held that office until his death in 1942.
