41-45 State Street, 1874/c. 1885/1928.

Brick, four stories, mansard roof sheathed in asphalt. This building, built in 1874, with rectangular granite sills and lintels, has a granite first story facade and a corbelled and dentilated cornice. The upper floor windows have two-over-two light sash. The main entry door under an arched granite surround is a pair of glazed double leaf doors topped by a large semi-circular multi- light transom. There is a recessed second door to the upper floors and other store front. The first floor windows are set high in groups of three with transoms. The mansard roof was added to the earlier building c. 1885 and has round-headed dormers presently containing louvered vents. The granite store front was added in 1928. One of the older commercial block buildings on State street, it has undergone many changes and is particularly representative of bank architecture as several banks have occupied this structure including the Capitol Savings Bank and Trust Co. which took it over completely by 1945. According to building permit records, the main bank portion was renovated into a coffee house in 1998 which it continues to be.
