Hyde Park-Kenwood National Bank Building, Classical Revival bank building in Hyde Park, Chicago, United States.

The Hyde Park-Kenwood National Bank Building rises ten stories with Bedford stone exterior and Art Deco details at 1525 East 53rd Street.

Constructed in 1929 for $2 million, this structure was the largest bank building outside Chicago Loop before closing during the Great Depression in 1932.

The building stands on the former site of Hyde Park Township hall, marking the evolution from independent municipality to Chicago neighborhood development.

The structure combines banking facilities on the first two floors with retail spaces at street level and office areas on upper levels.

The banking hall underwent renovation by Florian Architects in 2005, maintaining its status as a Chicago Landmark while adapting to modern requirements.
