Asbury Park Evening Press - Multiple Dates | Added 100718
The 032673 and 032973 issues of the
Asbury Park Evening Press carried an advertisement for the arrival of a "Space Bank" at the Lakewood Shopping Plaza in
Lakewood Township, New Jersey on 033173.
The ad indicated that the unit was the second "Space Bank"; the first having made banking history when it was previously flown in by helicopter to
Woodbridge Mall in
Woodbridge Township, New Jersey (that event tool place on 060272) and then later installed at the Bradlee's Shop-Rite Shopping Center in
Tom's River on 111172.
This was the second of several Futuros that served as branches of
City Federal Savings and Loan in the
New Jersey area during the early 1970's. Two variants of Futuro were used in this way, standard Futuros with 16 windows around the circumference of the unit and a variant which had only 8 windows. More information on "Space Banks" can be found
