First National Bank of Port Jefferson

First National Bank of Port Jefferson is a historic bank building located at Port Jefferson in Suffolk County, New York. It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick building with a 2-story turret that projects from the second story of the southwest corner and rises above the roof line. The turret has a steeply pitched, cone shaped slate roof and three windows on both levels. The main entrance to the building used to be directly below the turret, but was made into a window around 1949 when a 1-story brick, flat-roofed addition was built on the east side of the bank building. In 1948, the building ceased being used for a bank and was purchased by the Town of Brookhaven, who completed the 1-story addition the following year.

2021 Safe Incident
In 2021, a teenage girl was rescued by firefighters after accidentally being locked in the Kate & Hale dressing room area that once served as the building's bank vault. 14 year-old Giavanna Diesso became trapped in the vault after the girl's younger brother closed the door behind her as a joke. Rescue crews from the Port Jefferson Fire Department used air chisels and hammer drills to breach the 12-inch thick wall. Diesso used her cell phone to record her surroundings to help see how much room they had to break through the vault. She was eventually rescued, being pulled out horizontally. The rescue took about 90 minutes. ==References==
