Windsor Federal Building, 1956Windsor Federal Savings and Loan Association formally opened their new headquarters at Broad and Maple Streets on November 17, 1956. The building, designed by David G. Barker, has a steel-frame construction with a brick and split-faced granite facade. The large plate glass windows enticed walk-in customers while the new drive-up teller window provided easy access for Windsor's car-reliant patrons. Everett Hayden's Victorian home had stood on the site until 1945 when it was razed to make way for a commercial property. The new construction fell through, but Windsor Federal eventually acquired the vacant land and opened a public parking lot on the property in 1952 while planning for the new bank building was underway.
