Lancaster Trust Company is a historic bank building located at Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It was designed in 1910 by C. Emlen Urban, and built in 1911–1912, in the Beaux-Arts style. It was added to the front of an existing five-story building, built 1889–1890. It consists of the Main Banking Room, Board Room, and vaults, with the basement, lavatories, and passageways include. The facade is of red brick on a limestone foundation. The bank failed in 1932, and the building remained vacant for the next 50 years.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] For several years the building hosted the Lancaster Quilt and Textile Museum, which featured late 19th–20th century Amish quilts indigenous to the area.
