Curry's Spectacle Shop is located on the corner of Buffalo Road and Wesley Avenue in Wesleyville, Pennsylvania. Originally the Bank of Wesleyville, the building was built in 1921. In 1945, First National Bank moved into the building. Curry's Spectacle Shop opened across the street from the bank building in 1979. When First National Bank closed this branch in 1990, Curry's took over the historic building and has been there until the present time.
In 2016, Curry's Spectacle Shop received a "Greater Erie Award" from Preservation Erie, an organization created "to promote, preserve, and enhance the distinctive character of greater Erie through community-based planning, design, and historic preservation." According to the Preservation Erie website, "The Greater Erie Awards are presented annually by the board of Preservation Erie to individuals, businesses or organizations that are exceptional stewards of the physical and cultural landscape that is Greater Erie." They awarded a 2016 Greater Erie Award to Curry's Spectacle Shop, "In recognition of them operating their business in a former bank in Wesleyville and maintaining its historic character, both inside and out."
