The Safety Fund National Bank is a historic bank building at 470 Main Street in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. The five story steel frame building was one of many Fitchburg commercial buildings designed by locally significant architect H. M. Francis and was completed in 1895. The Safety Fund National Bank (which through mergers and acquisitions became part of BankBoston) was established in 1874, and this was its first permanent home. The Renaissance Revival building is predominantly faced in yellow brick with brownstone trim on its Main Street facade, although its first two floors were redone in granite and limestone in 1963.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
