About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Capitol Federal Savings Bank and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside. The noise grew louder as he approached the front door, almost like someone was playing an old organ in the vault. As he opened the vault door, a tiny old man in a bowler hat popped out and started waltzing around, playing a harmonica. ‘Good day, sir!’ he chirped. ‘Just checking if my new office is alright.’ Turned out it was the bank’s eccentric janitor who’d set up his little music shop there after hours.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Capitol Federal Savings Bank and asked the teller for help with his account. The teller smiled warmly and said, 'Sir, would you mind reading aloud the sign above your head?' The old man squinted up at the ceiling and read out loud: ‘Caution: Do Not Enter Without Wearing a Smile.’ He laughed heartily and turned back to the teller, saying, ‘I see now why I’ve always felt so welcome here!’

3. Late one night, a security guard patrolling Capitol Federal Savings Bank heard a strange humming noise coming from the basement. Curious but cautious, he approached the door—only to discover it was just an old safe quietly singing its own version of ‘America the Beautiful.’ Just then, another guard called up from above, asking if everything was okay. The first guard replied, 'No worries, I’m just here to collect my monthly bonus for keeping the safes happy!' Turns out, the safe had been playing its favorite song ever since a delivery driver accidentally left his headphones inside.

4. Have you ever seen anyone come out of Capitol Federal Savings Bank with more than two bags? A regular once asked curiously. A delivery driver once joked that they must hide extra packages in the basement, since no one ever leaves without just a couple of bags. Then a neighbor confessed he’d been sneaking past the tellers every week to withdraw giant stacks of cash—all for his secret collection of vintage board games.
