 ’s heartbeat started ticking in the early 1900s near Lettuce Lake. But 
 with the arrival of the FEC railway depot\\, the action shifted east of D
 ixie Highway and north of Atlantic Boulevard. This soon-to-be downtown ar
 ea\\, known as Old Town today\\, became the center of the city’s early 
 economic boom.\\nServing the growing community\\, businesses sprung up al
 ong these streets\\, including a crucial one – a bank. Today\\, the bui
 lding at 61 NE 1st Street holds the distinction of being Pompano Beach’
 s oldest commercial structure. Back in 1922\\, it proudly housed the Firs
 t Bank of Pompano.\\nThe Pompano community celebrated the grand opening o
 f the State Bank of Pompano (later renamed First Bank) on September 25\\,
  1922. The day was filled with local fanfare – refreshments from bank d
 irectors’ wives\\, speeches by prominent citizens\\, and even an orches
 tra serenading guests in the lobby. It was a momentous occasion for the t
 own’s financial future.\\nOn September 12th\\, 1924\\, the infamous Joh
 n Ashley and his accomplice\\, Lynn Middleton\\, strolled into the bank a
 t 2:30 pm. With a dramatic “hands up!” and armed with pistols and an 
 automatic rifle\\, they relieved the bank of $5\\,000 in cash and $18\\,0
 00 in securities. Adding insult to injury\\, Ashley left a bullet for She
 riff Baker with a taunting message before making a grand escape\\, report
 edly waving a bottle of liquor and shouting their victory\\, “We got it
  all.” Despite over a decade of bank robbery\\, bootlegging\\, escapes 
 from Raiford\\, piracy\\, and suspected murder John Ashley\\, his girlfri
 end Laura Upthegrove\\, and his gang were seen as local folk-heroes by ma
 ny.\\nDespite the brazen bank robbery\\, the First Bank persevered. It ev
 en underwent a name change\\, becoming the Farmer’s Bank of Pompano in 
 1934. However\\, the Great Depression eventually took its toll\\, and the
  bank closed its doors.\\nThankfully\\, in 2006\\, when demolition loomed
 \\, local citizens rallied to preserve this historic landmark along with 
 the neighboring Bailey Hotel. Today\\, The Vault proudly occupies the spa
 ce lovingly referred to by locals as “The Old Bank Building\\,” carry
 ing the torch of its rich history. The Bailey Hotel is now The Bailey Con
 temporary Arts Center.\\nWithin the walls of The Vault\\, you’ll not on
 ly find delectable dishes and refreshing drinks\\, but also a rich histor
 y. The spirit of this historic building whispers tales of a bustling past
 . At The Vault\\, we celebrate this legacy while creating a new chapter f
 illed with laughter\\, good food\\, and unforgettable experiences.\\n***M
