History Buffs: The Somerville History Roundtable Presents Marge Sullivan: "Saving Somerville's Savings Bank."

There will be a quick tour of the interior of the bank in its Victorian and its 20th-century versions, thanks to period photos and those taken by Round Table members in 2021. In the end, a discussion -consider why adaptive reuse currently is the best way to preserve this and Somerville’s other classic bank buildings.
