The Lancaster Trust Company is an historic, American bank building that is located in Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
History and architectural features
[edit]Designed in 1910 by C. Emlen Urban, it was built between 1911 and 1912. Created in the Beaux-Arts style, it was added to the front of an existing five-story building that was built between 1889 and 1890. This historic structure encompasses the Main Banking Room, Board Room, and vaults, with a basement, lavatories, and passageways, and sits on a limestone foundation. The facade is made from red brick. The bank failed in 1932, and the building remained vacant for the next fifty years.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] For several years the building hosted the Lancaster Quilt and Textile Museum, which featured late 19th–20th century Amish quilts indigenous to the area.
The Trust Performing Arts Center
[edit]In 2013, the building became the home of The Trust Performing Arts Center, which is run by Lancaster Bible College's Worship & Performing Arts department.[3] The college puts on a variety of community concerts, lectures, art shows, and live theatre productions at the building.[4]
