Old City Hall Mural on wall at TD Bank
Thursday, November 12, 2009
GLOUCESTER CITY NJ-TD Bank believes in preserving the heritage of local communities, which have contributed to the growth of a region. TD promotes the rich culture and local history of those communities by displaying custom-made wall murals in its stores. The murals depict key locations and events that are significant to the communities where the TD Bank stores are located.
The historical photo featured in the Gloucester City store was taken in 1925 and depicts Old City Hall.
Different murals appear throughout the locations in the TD network. The 7.5-foot by 13.5-foot murals are created by colorizing and enhancing old black and white photographs. Photos are digitally processed by computer and printed on heavy-duty paper. The printed paper is then applied like wallpaper.
To find the archival treasures that become a part of every location, TD Bank enlists the aid of township libraries, historical societies, and other organizations to help choose an intriguing photograph for display. The photo in the Gloucester City store was provided courtesy of the Gloucester City Historical Society.
TD Bank, Broadway and Cumberland Street, Gloucester City, is holding its GRAND OPENING Saturday, November 14th from 11 am to 2 pm. For more information
