"Key Savings is locally significant under Criterion A for Commerce as an excellent example of the transformation of the American banking industry in the post-Depression and post-World War II period. Scholarly recognition of the transformation of the previously conservative American banking industry into a consumer-oriented service business, and the expression of this transformation in its rapid adoption of modern architecture, is the historic context within which the 1967 Key Savings qualifies for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Key Savings also qualifies for listing in the National Register of Historic Places for its statewide significance under Criterion C for Architecture. It is significant as the work of established Colorado modernist master architect and engineer Charles Deaton and as an excellent and rare example of post-war Sculptural Expressionist design in the state. Key Savings occupies a key place in the history of Colorado architecture owing to its high quality modernist design." (from (
