About
The Mechanics Savings Bank Building at 139 Main St was designed to be the most imposing building on Beacon's Main Street when it opened in 1930.
The Architecture
Architect A. Stanley Miller gave the bank a granite facade, with Green Mountain marble and walnut inside. Its old vault still sits below street level.
A Changing Life
After a series of bank mergers, the building became the Star of Bethlehem church around 1956.
Today
The restored building is now home to Savage Wonder Art Center, a veteran-led arts space with a gallery, performance rooms and The Grape Rebellion wine and dessert bar in the old vault, so you can step inside and see it for yourself.
