The Wilmington Savings Fund Society Building is a historic bank building at 838 North Market Street in Wilmington, Delaware. The three story masonry structure was built in 1920, replacing an earlier building constructed by the Wilmington Savings Fund Society (WSFS) in 1886, and was designed by the New York City Hoggson Brothers firm. It is a stately expression of the Classical Revival, with massive Egyptian columns supporting porticos on three sides. The main entry on North Market Street features an ornate dentillated pediment. The lobby features a mural by N. C. Wyeth, added in 1932.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
