The Whitney Hotel on Poydras St in New Orleans is in a converted bank building. The vault is now the dining area.

Our County Clerk’s building is an old bank.
Vault is still there, and in use.
A game store that hosted decent size events has a vault from a previous bank occupant of the building. I think they just used it for storage.
A bank near my job closed. Arkla gas moved in. Used the drive up windows to accept bill payments.
They moved out. It became a tattoo parlor. The drive up teller lanes are still there but blocked off from use.
It’s named the Vault Studio Tattoo and Body Piercing

They missed out on some obvious Fallout theme stuff there, providing the vault was the round door type and not square door.

Very cool photos. They did a nice job fixing it up.
Around here they often have pawn shops move into them. Seems sort of appropriate: security arrangements, nice locations, suitable size parking lot for their needs, etc.
One of the ex-bank/ex-pawn shops nearby was recently replaced by a fast food place. I talked to a guy who worked near it and it only took them two days to demolish the vault zone with modest equipment.
The Apple Store on Madison Avenue in NYC kept the vault and remodeled it.
There’s a pub called Fifteens in St. Annes, UK. The vault has a table with seating for around 15 people. The walls are covered with risque prints from various eras. It’s a good place to go with that annoying person who is always fiddling with his/her phone since there is absolutely no signal in the vault, not even from the pub wi-fi.
The bank that my dad worked in for 40 years was recently turned into a cool restaurant. One of our kids’ favorites, due to the most varied menu I’ve ever seen.
They love to eat in the vault. And it’s nostalgic for me. It was where my dad would show me things like classic “money bags”, and, since in the 50s, banks actually transferred money with bills, a stack of $10,000 bills.
I used to work in downtown Philadelphia in the bottom floor of an office building. That floor used to be occupied by a bank; when the bank moved, the company which owned the rest of the building simply expanded into that space.
The office-supplies room was called The Vault because that’s exactly what it was.
Proved me wrong!
