Coin banks, made mostly by the company Banthrico, could be categorized into architectural styles. The
following list of building replica still banks are considered mid-century
modern - a style that emphasized large and ample windows, open

Excellent overview. Quite helpful in focusing my collecting on some of the best examples of mid century modern banks.
Your Norwood Savings and Loan Association bank is not from Ohio...it's from Chicago. I know, because my grandfather founded that S&L and my father had that building built as President. 5813 N. Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL.
