This two-story brick building on the corner of Main and Church Streets was built by Belfast merchant John Haraden in 1849. It served John and his son Daniel as a store for many years. In 1874, the Belfast Savings Bank moved into the first floor, installing a steel and iron safe - which is still in the building. The building was greatly enlarged in 1911 by adding a third story and a new corner entrance. The granite plaque with 1874 cut into it commemorates the year the bank moved in, not the year the building was built.
The building on the far left was originally a wooden house built by furniture maker Samuel Peck around 1809. It was then enlarged, encased in brick, and had a Mansard roof added by John M. Stewart in 1874. The current roof was added at a later date.
