On many occasions, I have found that historical research is fraught with inconsistencies. The above two graphics give an example. The 1812 State Gazette article says that the bank opens "this day" (June 1, 1812). Over on the right, and many many years later, the 1928 captioned photo says the building was erected in 1813.It is possible that the article on the left was sent from a location other than the Bank Street location. However, it is my conclusion that the photo and caption are incorrect. Perhaps there will be further information uncovered as time goes by,
