I am wondering that if it might not be a good idea to think about, or in the future think about splitting this article into two, one for the building and one for the bank, their both notable and very much expandable in their own right. --Boothy443 | trácht ar06:09, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As a Philadelphian, I would agree. The bank existed long before the building, and has an interesting history. The building is quite significant, too--DThomsen8 (talk) 14:27, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I recall from growing up in Philadelphia, the elementary schools encouraged students to get PSFS accounts and save regularly. One would visit a branch office and present one's passbook and cash to be deposited. The teller would open the passbook to the current page and insert it into a special machine that would print the amount deposited and the balance. This helped to make saving a reality, and provided some motivation. One had the idea that PSFS was founded by Benjamin Franklin, although I have no idea if this is true.
