New York County National Bank Building

The New York County National Bank Building is a neoclassical bank structure at the corner of Eighth Avenue and West 14th Street in Greenwich Village. Its marble facade with classical architectural details now houses duplex residences and commercial spaces within.

Built from 1906 to 1907 by architects De Lemos & Cordes and Rudolphe L. Daus, this structure originally served as the main office of New York County National Bank. Decades later it transitioned into residential and commercial use.

This place evolved from a financial institution into a mixed-use space combining residences with commercial areas and the Museum of Illusions. The transformation reflects how historic bank buildings find new purpose in urban neighborhoods.

The building sits at a convenient location on Eighth Avenue with multiple transit stops nearby for easy access. Its central position in the commercial district makes it walkable and simple to reach from surrounding neighborhoods.

The original steel bank vault from its banking days still sits in the lobby, offering a glimpse into the building's financial past. This preserved feature connects the structure's former purpose with its present-day residential function.
