When BruceS submitted the former bank as the headquarters, it was. But the society has moved, and the former headquarters is now exclusively the Archives and Records building. Its use is strictly by appointment, and open to everyone.
The Headquarters moved to have a smaller space for society meeting, etc...and to have more storage space in the old building for more records.
