"The Tompkins County Trust Company's expansion project, connecting the bank building to the old Tompkins County Clerk's Office, is rapidly taking shape.
Bricklayers are now setting up the masonry link where the Sideboard Restaurant once stood. It will serve as a setback main entrance to an enlarged bank building affording greater facilities to both employes and customers."
