Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank Building
Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank Building, Beaux-Arts bank building in Civic Center, Manhattan, US.
The Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank Building spans 17 stories with a limestone facade, featuring an H-shaped layout that maximizes natural light throughout the structure.
Constructed between 1909 and 1912, this building served as the largest bank structure in the United States, specifically designed to assist Irish immigrants with financial services.
The former banking hall has transformed into Hall des Lumières, an exhibition space that presents digital art installations within the preserved architectural elements.
Located at 49-51 Chambers Street, the building contains 99 residential condominiums with amenities including a swimming pool, gym, and rooftop deck.
The structure pioneered the H-plan design in skyscraper architecture, establishing new standards for interior illumination in early 20th-century commercial buildings.
