Historical note: Organized in 1868 as the Ithaca Savings Bank, the bank’s first president was Ezra Cornell. The present building is located at the site of Alonzo Cornell’s house, originally the Woodcock House, where Ezra Cornell died in 1874. The bank moved to this site in 1878, with a new building designed by William H. Miller in 1887. Gibb and Waltz designed the present building after the bank burned late in 1921. The present building originally had two decorative cast iron marquee awnings projecting over the two main entrances. Plaque on the northeast comer of the building reads “Plaque to Ezra Comell/On this site lived and died/1801 Ezra Cornell 1874/ Member of the Assembly, Senator, Philanthropist/Benefactor/of the City of Ithaca—whose citizens/rear this token in grateful appreciation/In Memoria Aetema Erit Justus/ Erected by the Dewitt Historical Society of Tompkins County/ on the anniversary of his birthday January 11, 1909.”"
