The New Hampshire Savings Bank Building is a historic commercial building in at 97 North Main Street in downtown Concord, New Hampshire, across Capitol Street from the New Hampshire State House. The five story granite building was built in 1926-27 for what is now the oldest bank in the city, and was the only bank building built in the city in the first half of the 20th century. The Renaissance Revival building was designed by J. D. Leland & Company and George W. Griffin; the Leland firm was based in Boston, Massachusetts and was responsible for most of the design, and Griffin was a local architect. Granite for the building's construction came from the Rattlesnake Hill quarry in West Concord. The building originally had two full-size floors, with U-shaped upper floors; the open U was enclosed in 1986.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
