Aberdeen Savings Bank

Aberdeen Savings Bank was founded in 1815 and had conducted its business in small offices until 1st July 1858, when this building was opened on Exchange Street. The ground had been feued from the Scottish North-Eastern Railway Company in January 1857 and this building erected at a cost of around 2,800 pounds. As the population of the city moved further west away from the city centre, the directors felt that a change of site was desirable and, having acquired land in Union Terrace, a new, much larger, office was opened in 1896.
