A street-corner view of the Colonial Trust Company's white neoclassical bank building, its window trim and quoins painted red, arched windows along the ground floor, and a dark domed cupola on the roof. A lone figure stands at the entrance, and a brick building shows through the trees at right.
Waterbury was one of New England's leading brass and metal-goods manufacturing cities in this period, and its downtown banks stood within sight of the mills and shops that made the city's name.
