Southport Savings Bank, 226 Main St Southport, Fairfield County, CT
The Southport Savings Bank was erected in 1863-65, and designed according to the plans for the Danbury (Connecticut) Bank.

Because of this handsome structure`s institutional function and utilitarian design, it is one of Southport`s most important surviving buildings from this period. The Savings Bank was chartered in 1854 and became a branch of the Bridgeport Bank in 1955.
