About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of Boston’s financial district, Eastern Bank employees were startled by an unexpected visitor. A delivery driver, usually seen only once a week, arrived with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. As he approached the reception desk, the delivery driver greeted everyone cheerfully: ‘Morning, neighbors! Just your usual weekly delivery—nothing special.’ The package was duly signed for, and soon after, one employee noticed something peculiar: the note inside read, ‘Happy Monday from your friendly neighborhood Eastern Bank!’ Turns out it was just a prank from a fellow staffer, adding a touch of fun to their otherwise staid workday.
2. In the dim light of an autumn afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Eastern Bank and muttered under his breath, ‘I swear, every time I come here, that security guard gives me the strangest look.’ As he approached the door, the guard gave him another piercing glance and said, 'Next time, could you please use the side entrance? It's much closer.' The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, muttering, 'Must be something in the water they drink there...'
3. In the quiet hours before dawn, a janitor was mopping the floors when he noticed something strange: the ceiling lights seemed to flicker in time with the ticking of the old grandfather clock in the corner. Curious, he followed the rhythm and found that every time the clock struck on the quarter-hour, the lights dimmed slightly. Smiling to himself, he thought it must be some quirky feature designed by the bank’s eccentric architect. Little did he know that the next morning, during his coffee break, he’d overhear two employees discussing how they’d adjusted the clock’s mechanism to save electricity—just another day at Eastern Bank.
4. In the dead of night, Eastern Bank's security guard heard a soft humming coming from inside one of the safes. Curious, he opened it and found only an old cassette tape with ‘Happy Birthday’ written on it. Turns out, someone had accidentally left it there during a routine deposit. The next morning, everyone in the bank sang along to that tape until the manager finally figured it out.
