In 1953 the bank relocated its office to the current location at the corner of Main and Hall Streets, which boasted the first drive-thru banking window in the Phoenixville area. Since that time, it has become a real community focal point.

Celebrate and remember the good ole’ days at the HSPA Museum on the corner of Main and Church, right around the corner from the bank that helped the kiddies save their pennies and their parents invest with trust.
