About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably warm autumn morning when Bank of Colorado opened its doors. As customers lined up outside, a delivery driver pulled up in front of the building with a puzzled look on his face. The delivery driver shook his head and said, 'I’m supposed to deliver some old safes to the new branch down the street!' A regular customer overheard him and laughed, offering to help carry the safes inside. Turns out, it was just another day at the Bank of Colorado—nothing more than a misunderstanding between two friendly neighbors.
2. One foggy morning, as Bank of Colorado's tellers settled in for their shift, something peculiar caught their attention—a faint, rhythmic tapping sound coming from inside one of the safes. Curious but cautious, they opened the safe to find nothing more than a small, sleepy woodpecker pecking away at the lock. The bird flapped its wings and chirped, clearly not understanding why everyone was staring so intently. After a moment, someone whispered, 'I think he’s trying to rob us!' But really, it was just an early-morning visitor who found the safe door an excellent perch.
3. At dawn, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver pulled up outside Bank of Colorado. As he stepped out, he noticed a strange humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he cracked open the door—just enough for his head—and peered inside. The hum grew louder, like an old refrigerator on steroids. Then, from behind the counter, a sleepy security guard yawned and said, ‘Morning, Mr. Driver. Same time tomorrow?’ The delivery man blinked twice, smiled sheepishly, and replied, ‘I’ll be here.’
4. At first light, before sunrise, a jogger passing by Bank of Colorado noticed something odd: the building’s clock tower chimed not once, but twice every hour. Curious, she mentioned it to her friend who happened to be a watchmaker. He fixed the mechanism in no time—apparently, an old maintenance worker had accidentally set the chimes to double-time. Soon after, everyone joked that Bank of Colorado was the only place where you could get ‘double interest’ on your deposits.
