This Bank In Rhode Island Can Be Yours For $749,000 And Yes, It Even Comes With A Vault
Would you ever consider living in a building that used to be a bank? I mean, think about it! Bank buildings are usually beautiful with old-fashioned architecture. Plus, who wouldn’t want an actual bank vault to keep all of their prized possessions in?
Well, for the price of $749,000, a gorgeous bank located in Rhode Island could be all yours.
The bank, which was originally named the Providence County Savings Bank in downtown Pawtucket, Rhode Island, was built in 1901. It’s a neoclassical building that has been spectacularly maintained and is ready for a fresh start.
Like any other suburban home, the bank is listed for sale on Zillow, where it’s described as having “ornate elements throughout with mason and marble details and an expansive front entrance with storefront display windows.”
The building is about 13,000 square feet, with tall ceilings and even a passenger elevator! And, of course, it has a stunning bank vault.
If you look at the pictures in the listing, it is so cool. In addition, there are tons of different rooms on the various floors of the building.
Not only are there the standard banking rooms you’d expect to see, but spaces that also function as kitchens and dining rooms.
Nice describes Pawtucket as a great, diverse city with “a strong arts culture including local music and arts studios/programs.”
Pawtucket also has an interesting historical background, having been an important spot for textile manufacturing.

It’s the home of a very historic mill that was essential to progressing the Industrial Revolution in the United States. It looks like a lovely place to live. Multiple sources list it as an affordable place to live too!
Now, if I had the money to buy this bank, I would want to transform it into a fascinating dream home. However, the Zillow listing reads that “its extensive zoning uses and available city incentives make it the perfect development project for apartments, condos, mixed-use, and much more.”
This bank building is also close to the city’s train station and soccer field, making it a great spot in the heart of Pawtucket’s downtown.
So what do you think? Are you suddenly feeling interested in buying a 122-year-old bank?
