Yes, during renovations to their primary bank building located on Elm Street, the now defunct Manchester Bank erected a fiberglass piggy bank at the base of the hill below, one block west, on a parking lot adjacent to the east side of Canal Street between Spring Street and the former Acme Street, which served as their banking premises for a period of approximately three years during the mid to late 70's. I actually did banking business there as a customer, and if memory serves, it also had a drive-up window. I estimate that it was approximately 60 feet in length, and about 30 feet tall, painted pink and covered with hippy style colorful flowers. It became a very famous landmark. I believe that it was subsequently purchased and moved elsewhere. I have seen photos of it, and hope to find them on line.
