The Former Civic Savings Bank [ Architectonic monument ]

Turistické informační centrum Vsetín,člen A.T.I.C. ČR
Next to Snaha Pub the master-builder Urbánek built the building of a savings bank in 1896, and in the same year his friend Mikuláš Aleš designed and in the next year started drawing the cartoons of the graffiti decoration of the front in real size. He drew them in the attic at the Urbáneks’, because in whole Vsetín there was not a studio of adequate dimensions. Aleš’s drawings were transferred to the plaster by a master of graffiti, Josef Bosáček from Plzeň. In comparison with the original Aleš’s design, there was one change: in the middle of the main frieze the symbol of economy should have been represented. Aleš had drawn a hamster in the design, but the town council did not approve of it and wanted to have a bee there. It is not known whether the author refused the change. However, there is neither a bee nor a hamster on the frieze...
