Farmers and Mechanics Savings Bank
Farmers and Mechanics Savings Bank, Art Deco bank building in downtown Minneapolis, United States.
The white limestone structure features sculptures of a farmer and a mechanic flanking the entrance, with a 34-foot high banking hall inside.
The Farmers and Mechanics Savings Bank opened its doors in 1942, later joining the National Register of Historic Places in 2006 for its architectural significance.
The building demonstrates the Streamline Moderne architectural style through its smooth surfaces, curved corners, and horizontal lines typical of 1940s design.
The former banking hall now serves as the lobby of The Westin Minneapolis, while the original vault has been converted into a conference room.
The bank's former safety deposit vault has been transformed into a wine storage area, maintaining its secure characteristics for a different purpose.
