Continental Bank Building

The Continental Bank Building is a 50-story skyscraper at 30 Broad Street in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City.

[2] The building was designed as a skyscraper rising 48 stories, 564 feet (172 m) above street level with a "simple" architecture.

An adjoining structure along the southern property line required triple cantilever plate girders to provide headroom for the elevator doors.

30 Broad Street appears as the "Larrabee Building" in the original 1954 version of the movie Sabrina, as the headquarters of the family business empire.

[4] The building and Broad Street are also seen in an early scene when William Holden parks his car out front.

The building is also used as a location in the opening scene of the 1954 film Executive Suite, also starring William Holden.

[citation needed] A businessman walks out of the building, looks up and down Broad Street for a taxi, then succumbs to a heart attack, setting the movie's plot into motion.
