About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up to Washington Trust Bank one morning and exclaimed, 'This is the third time today I've seen a ghostly figure in that alley!' The manager went outside to investigate and saw nothing but an empty alleyway. ‘Probably just a trick of the light,’ he thought. Later that day, when the delivery driver returned, everyone burst out laughing as they realized the ghostly figure was actually his reflection in the bank’s shiny new sign.
2. A customer entered Washington Trust Bank one afternoon and asked the teller with a straight face, ‘Do you accept gold doubloons for deposits?’ The teller looked puzzled but replied calmly, 'I'm afraid we only accept legal tender here.' The customer nodded knowingly and said, 'Of course, I wouldn't expect anything less from a reputable institution like yours.' Then he walked out, leaving everyone in the bank laughing. It turned out he was just a neighborhood prankster who loved testing people's patience.
3. A little girl walked into Washington Trust Bank holding her piggybank tightly. She approached the counter and whispered something to the teller, who burst out laughing. Nobody else heard what she said. The teller leaned closer and whispered back, ‘You want to open a savings account?’ The little girl nodded solemnly, then counted out her pennies one by one. Word spread quickly around town that Washington Trust Bank now had its youngest customer—a tiny tycoon with a serious savings habit.’
4. A delivery truck pulled up outside Washington Trust Bank early in the morning. The driver stepped out, stretched, and noticed something odd on the passenger seat—a small envelope addressed to ‘The Manager’. He opened it curiously, finding inside a note scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Dear Sir, please don’t forget to feed my goldfish today.' Turns out, little Timmy from next door had accidentally left his lunch money here. The manager laughed, saying, 'Guess who’s buying lunch for everyone tomorrow?'
