City National Bank

In the early part of the nineteenth century, New London was the only city in Connecticut with two banks. The New London City National Bank was the second bank; this structure on Bank Street was built in 1905 after an earlier building on the same site had proved insufficient. It now is the site of a Liberty Bank branch. (Sources: A Modern History of New London County, ed.
