Previously the Jones Athenaeum, a theater and public hall, was one of the city’s busiest meeting places. A fire on May 7, 1873 destroyed the building as well as Jesse Smith’s nearby stables. The following year, Gardner Jones replaced the Jones Athenaeum, with this red-brick Italianate building, now the corporate headquarters of Bristol County Savings Bank.
