The original oil painting titled Westfield, 1959 by Michael A. Cady is on permanent display at the Westfield Athenaeum in Westfield, MA. The painting depicts the First National Bank Building in the center flanked by commercial buildings.
The First National Bank is now doing business as the Sovereign Bank, the windows are covered by red awnings, and the round clock is now a square clock. The building to the right of the bank is now natural brick red and not painted yellow as in 1959. The building to the left of the bank has lost its stucco façade and is now showing the wooden underlayment.
The Westfield Athenaeum is open:
Monday-Thursday 8:30-8
Friday & Saturday 8:30-5
Closed Saturdays July through Labor Day.
The painting is directly behind the main circulation desk.
