Cupola Iron Mechanical Bank
J. & E. Stevens Company. Cromwell, CT - 1870's. The Cupola Bank is arguably the prettiest building bank every created. The flared foundation with its steep staircase, is a great visual anchor for its cylindrical structure. Ultimately, your eyes drift upwards where you discover two scalloped rooflines, a most pleasing aesthetic outcome. Pressing the door knob causes the cupola to rise on three poles, revealing the bank manager in his office beneath the dome.
