Syracuse Savings Bank Building
Syracuse Savings Bank Building, Gothic Revival bank building in Syracuse, New York
The Syracuse Savings Bank Building is a bank structure with Gothic Revival elements located in downtown Syracuse. Its facade features pointed-arch windows and detailed stonework, with a tall tower rising prominently above the surrounding streetscape.
Architect Joseph Lyman Silsbee designed this structure in 1875, and when completed in 1876 it became the tallest building in the city. The ambitious construction marked a turning point for Syracuse as a rising financial center.
The building represents the financial rise of Syracuse during its industrial boom, reflecting how the city became an important commercial hub. Visitors today can sense the grandeur that was meant to convey wealth and reliability in banking.
The structure is located downtown on North Salina Street and is easy to spot from street level. While banking operations continue on the lower floors, the upper levels and tower are not open to the public.
The building housed a technological milestone as the home of the city's first passenger elevator. This innovation drew residents who traveled up to experience views across the city from above.
