SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Oswego–based Pathfinder Bank has opened a branch office at 506 W. Onondaga St. in Syracuse, representing its fourth banking office in Onondaga County.
The new location is also the bank’s second branch location in the city of Syracuse. It started operations on Nov. 14.
The new branch also represents a repurposing of the George C. Hanford House, per a Nov. 2 announcement from VIP Structures, which managed construction on the property. It was built in the early part of the 20th century for George C. Hanford, founder of G. C. Hanford Manufacturing Co. (now Hanford Pharmaceuticals).

Construction on interior and exterior renovations began in 2020. The building still has a lot of its original features along with restored stained-glass windows and a central staircase that leads up to three private offices and a large conference room, Pathfinder Bank said.
The new office offers personal and business-banking services including loans, mortgages, and investment planning. It also has drive-thru service and a drive-up ATM.
“As our commitment to Onondaga County continues to grow, so does the communities’ support of our presence,” James Dowd, president and CEO of Pathfinder Bank, said. “When choosing this location, we recognized the need to provide our customers with more convenience and enhance our accessibility to an otherwise underbanked neighborhood. We look forward to being a more visible and vital part of the communities that we serve.”
Pathfinder Bank hired six new employees for this location, including Shynique Gainey as assistant VP, branch manager.
Pathfinder Bank is a state-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Oswego and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBHC). It has 11 offices located in its market areas, which includes Oswego and Onondaga counties.
