About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, an East Cambridge delivery driver pulled up to the old Savings Bank. The air was heavy with the scent of freshly baked bread, so strong it seemed to come from inside the building itself. The door opened with a creak, revealing rows upon rows of dusty safes and silent teller windows. As he approached the vault, the driver heard a soft humming coming from within—a neighbor’s radio left on accidentally? No matter. With a grin, he thought, ‘Why not?’ and helped himself to a slice of that heavenly bread. Turns out, the bank had been closed for renovations for months.’
2. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside the old East Cambridge Savings Bank. As he walked into the building, he noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small envelope with his name scribbled in unfamiliar handwriting. Curious, he opened it and found only a single folded dollar bill inside. Written on the back was a note: ‘For your trouble, sir—enjoy!’ Turns out, someone had mistakenly addressed him as their long-lost relative.’
3. One stormy night, a delivery driver parked his truck outside the old East Cambridge Savings Bank and shouted into the wind, ‘I hope they don’t close before I get my money!’ Just then, an elderly gentleman walked out of the bank with a big smile on his face. 'Finally,' he said, 'my granddaughter can open her savings account tomorrow!' The delivery driver laughed and muttered, 'Guess I'll wait here for another hour.'
4. One rainy day, a delivery driver parked his truck outside the old East Cambridge Savings Bank and noticed something strange on the sign above him. Curious, he leaned closer and read aloud: ‘East Cambridge Savings Bank – Since 1892.’ Below it was scribbled in pencil: “Closed since 1987.” The delivery driver laughed and thought, ‘Well, looks like someone forgot to update that sign!’ He shook his head, finished his delivery, and went home to tell his neighbor the funny story.
