[portfolio_slideshow id=65445]

A three-story, 6,000-square-foot JPMorgan Chase bank branch and office is nearing completion at one of the most visible spots in Greenwich, 111 W. Putnam Ave., directly across Dearfield Drive from the Greenwich Library it was designed to complement architecturally.

The opening is slated for Nov. 3, according to the company’s website-based branch locator.

The site dating to the 1940s was home to an automotive gas and service center. It was Greenwich Automotive Services for 27 years. The site had been vacant since 2010.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. maintains two other branches in downtown Greenwich, on Greenwich and West Putnam avenues. Plans for those branches were not immediately available from the company.

The builder is Franchise Contractors, based in Elmsford, N.Y.
