The North Country Federal Credit Union building has changed over time because of changes to its name and structure. For example, the credit union building has had many different names: Central Savings Bank and Trust Company, The Howard National Bank, TD Bank, and NCFCU, which is the business that is in the building today. In 1905 the Trust Company was established and in 1963 The Howard National Bank was established. Another type of change is that there used to be a library above the Central Savings Bank in 1914, but it is not there anymore. Another example of structure has changed is the inside because the lobby today is very different from the pictures of the old lobby in the Howard National Bank. This is how North Country Credit Union has changed over time.
