Major Renovation, Seamen's Bank, Eastham, MA

Cape Associates carried out this major renovation of the Seamen's Bank branch in Eastham with Catalyst Architecture. The building is a yellow, shingle-style structure with red accents, a corner turret, gabled dormers and a covered drive-up canopy.

The grounds are planted with a meadow of golden wildflowers along the front, and a small illuminated sign marks the entrance from the road. Walkways and a porch with white railings lead to the front door.

Inside, the lobby has a long wood teller counter, wood floors and a patterned runner. Upstairs, a conference room with a polished table and leather chairs is shown, and a small alcove with leaded-glass windows sits beside a turned newel post.

Color sets the building apart, with a pale yellow body, red trim and white porch posts. Mature trees and native plantings surround it, and a simple walk connects the parking area to the covered entrance.
