Abstract
The State Savings Bank was designed by Wiseman, Bland and Foster in 1955. The only remaining site in what once was the financial center of the city, the State Savings Bank is a modern style office building that can still be found on 72 Madison Avenue in downtown Memphis. The brick building is tucked at the back corner of Madison Garage Partners which had to build around the small bank when land parcel was not found at the time of the garage construction. It sits in the corner at three stories high with wrap-around windows. Currently the office property is vacant and off-market. To learn more see Memphis: An Architectural Guide by Eugene J. Johnson.
