MODERN BANKING HOUSE
WITH ALL CoNvENIENCEs

Within the next few days Ahe finan-
cial district Of Richmond will be ex-
tended at least one block west from
Its present boundaries by the removal
OF the Richmond Trust and Savings
company from 1109 East Main street
to its new and beautiful banking rooms
at the northwest corner of Main and
Seventh streets. This will be Just two
blocks west from what can be consid-
cred the financial center Of Rich
mond," and Is another evidence of the
westward trend Of business on Main
street This formerly gloomy corner
has undergone a remarkable change
in the last three months. and the dark
three-story building formerly occu-
pied by the Virginia Railway and
Power company is now an attractive
banking corner with the most spa
cious banking offices in this city on
the ground floor. Here the various de-
partments of the Richmond Trust and
Savings company have been sectioned
off and provided with ample space in
an ingenious way. so as to prevent any
confusion or crowding and yet in a
manner to form complete and con-
genial whole. The impression one
gets at entering this large banking
room Is that here undoubtedly Is a
place to feel at home in" On the
right of the main entrance is located
the banking department, with officers
quarters in front and tellers cages and
bookkeepers' desks ranged alongside.
Adjoining the officers railing Is space
especially laid out and reserved for
the ladies of Richmond who favor the
bank with their patronage in any Of
its various branches. and also where
those ladies who have occasion to visit
that part OF Richmond's business dis
trict for any purpose will be welcome
to rest themselves. In the rear Of the
banking department is located the d.
rectors room and right adjoining that
is the large double vault of the COM
pany. To the left of the main en-
trance the travel department will oc-
cupy the space Immediately in front,
with the real estate department and
the insurance department alongside.
Altogether the new banking house
is one of the most complete and con-
veniently equipped in Richmond. and
enjoys the distinction of having the
largest lobby of any banking house in
the State.
