Centennial National Bank
Centennial National Bank, Gothic Revival bank building at 32nd and Market Streets in Philadelphia, US.
The three-sided brick structure displays black brick bands, brown sandstone details, and distinctive Gothic Revival architectural elements designed by Frank Furness.
The financial institution opened in 1876 to handle ticket revenues and currency exchanges during the Centennial Exposition celebrating American independence.
The building represents the evolution of Victorian architecture in Philadelphia through its incorporation of Venetian Gothic design elements and red pressed brick construction.
The structure now functions as Drexel University's Paul Peck Alumni Center following extensive renovations completed in 2002.
The bank maintained its position as the sole national banking institution in West Philadelphia through 1900, generating substantial financial returns.
