Bowery Savings Bank

The bank's first branch at 130 Bowery was replaced twice; the current building on the site, designed by Stanford White and completed in 1895, is now an upscale venue.

The bank decided to move its headquarters in 1920, and a new building was constructed from 1921 to 1923 at 110 East 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan.

[1][3] By 1980, it had over 35 branches located in the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, as well as Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island.

The exterior features Corinthian columns and sculpted pediments by Frederic MacMonnies, while the interior gives the impression of a Roman temple, and is said to be one of the great spaces in New York.

In addition, White employed faux marble scagliola columns, coffered ceilings and stairs and skylights made of cast iron.

It was designed by York and Sawyer in Italian Romanesque Revival style, with William Louis Ayres as the partner in charge.

In April 2019, workers cleaning out a basement in Brooklyn discovered century-old records of the Bowery Savings Bank.
