The bank that was headquartered here changed its name to "South Jersey National Bank" in the 1960s and to "Heritage Bank" in the 1970s. It later merged with Midlantic National Bank, which was ultimately acquired by PNC Bank.

In 2016, the building was renovated and became the Rowan University Camden Academic Building [3] The old vaults were converted to student lounges.
