Provident Life & Trust Company, Victorian financial building in Old City, Philadelphia, United States.
The Provident Life & Trust Company featured unorthodox stone massing, compressed columns, and a Modern Gothic facade with heavy visual elements at 407-409 Chestnut Street.
Architect Frank Furness designed the L-shaped building in 1876 after winning a national competition, and construction was completed between 1888 and 1890.
Founded by Quaker members in 1865, the bank integrated into Philadelphia's Banker's Row, representing the evolution of financial architecture in the late 19th century.
The four-story structure maintained separate entrances for banking at Chestnut Street and insurance services at South 4th Street until its demolition in 1959.
The building's interior displayed multicolored Minton tiles covering walls and floors, while iron trusses supported expansive skylights in the main room.
