Comprehensive History

In 1899, The Wayne Building and Loan Company was incorporated as a savings and loan "to bring together the people with money to save and the people who wanted homes"[1]. The office was located on the northeast corner of Public Square in an office shared with Jesse McClellan and J. G. Sanborn. By the end of 1899, the business had 241 savings depositors and a healthy annual statement of earnings.

In 1902, the Directors voted to purchase the lot on the southeast corner of North Market and North Streets at a cost of $900. A two-story building was completed in 1903 and remains an important part of the present Wayne Savings building today[2]. An additional lot was purchased in 1912 for a building addition of buff brick and terra cotta trim, including a fireproof vault, constructed by Long & Bogner of Wooster[3].
