Since the pandemic, the Chase bank on Merrick Road, Seaford, has had two busy ATM's and safe deposit boxes, but no teller staff. Chase has announced that the branch will close on December 8, 2021. I suspect (but could be wrong) that the closure will end a hundred years of banking in part of that building.

Yes, part of that structure was once a funeral parlor operated by the nearby landowner, However, a 1936 article in the Brooklyn Eagle says that Mary Southard's funeral parlor was on Jackson Avenue. Okay, this post is going to need clarifications and corrections.

At one time, I think it was Fort Neck Bank. It was also Security National Bank. Whether Manufacturers Hanover Bank or Chemical Bank was there, I am confused. It would not surprise me that the sequence of banks topped five.
Comments are appreciated!
