WILMINGTON, Del. - WSFS Financial Corporation (NASDAQ/GS: WSFS), the parent company of WSFS Bank, and The Buccini/Pollin Group, announce that WSFS Bank will donate the N.C. Wyeth mural, Apotheosis of the Family, to the Historical Society of Delaware.

"It is an honor and a privilege to gift this Delaware jewel to the Historical Society of Delaware, an organization that is dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of Delaware history, heritage and culture for the benefit of the public. We are delighted that this historical treasure will remain in Delaware, the community that WSFS Bank has called home for over 175 years and that this magnificent masterpiece will be accessible to the public for viewing," said Marvin N. Schoenhals, Chairman of the Board, WSFS Bank.

"We are thrilled to be a part of this gift," stated Robert Buccini, President of The Buccini/Pollin Group. "It was crucial to us that Apotheosis of the Family remained on Market Street - as part of a larger vision we have for the rebirth of our great city. It is only fitting that it will remain in the heart of this historic district, which is undergoing a major transformation into New Castle County's premier entertainment, and residential district."

When originally commissioned in 1929, the intent for the mural was that it would remain on Market Street. As WSFS Bank commemorates its 175th Anniversary, it is meeting the expectations of the community that the mural will stay on Market Street and will be preserved for current and future generations of Delawareans. The 19-by-60 foot stately work of art has adorned the two-story lobby of the former WSFS headquarters since 1932. The Buccini/Pollin Group, a real estate acquisition, development and management company located in Wilmington, DE, purchased the real estate earlier this year and are converting the building into a 136-room boutique hotel. WSFS Bank relocated its Corporate headquarters to WSFS Bank Center at 500 Delaware Avenue in March 2007, where the preliminary rendering of this masterpiece is displayed in the lobby.

"This donation to the Historical Society of Delaware meets the needs of Delawareans to retain this coveted cornerstone in the community and also fulfills WSFS Bank's desire to keep this masterpiece local and open to public viewing. WSFS Bank is committed to strengthening the core of Delaware, serving the needs and desires of the community from which we have drawn our strength. We are delighted that the mural will be donated to the Historical Society of Delaware, an organization whose values, priorities, mission and community commitment mirror those of WSFS Bank," said Mark A. Turner, President and Chief Executive Officer, WSFS Bank.

About the mural - In 1929, former WSFS Bank President, Frederick E. Stone, commissioned Delaware Valley painter and illustrator, N.C. Wyeth to create a mural for the south wall lobby of the Bank's former headquarters at 838 Market Street, Wilmington, DE. The completed masterpiece, Apotheosis of the Family, was unveiled in 1932, in celebration of WSFS Bank's 100th Anniversary. This majestic painting embraces the integrity of the family, which reflects the values of WSFS Bank: to honor and focus on fulfilling the financial needs of the ordinary family. This allegory of home and family is displayed throughout the five panels of the mural as a sequence of scenes that represent the labors of the family. The mural progresses through the seasons beginning with spring and ending with winter and incorporates images of Wyeth's son Andrew and other Wyeth children and neighbors.
