CZ: Strohá, typicky funkcionalistická fasáda budovy Sporitelny (postavená v roce 1930) byla vyzdobena socharem Václavem Nejtkem sochou ženy a chlapce s truhla s pokladem zobrazujícím šetrnost; další Nejtkovy práce jsou umísteny uvnitr budovy. Vzhledem k ohrožené statice budovy byla težká socha odstranena z fasády a vrácena až v roce 1994.
