Brooklyn Savings Bank, Neoclassical bank building in Brooklyn Heights, New York.
The Brooklyn Savings Bank featured a grand recessed porch with red granite columns, rising to a ceiling height of 75 feet.
Built in 1894 by architect Frank Freeman, the bank stood at Clinton and Pierrepont Streets until its demolition in 1964, preceding the area's historic district designation.
The building demonstrated the architectural transition from Richardsonian Romanesque to Neoclassical style following the 1893 Chicago World's Fair influence.
The structure required an investment of 300,000 dollars and replaced the First Baptist Church, which sold its property for 200,000 dollars.
Interior spaces contained onyx wall panels extending 22 feet high and bronze-finished counters, reflecting late 19th-century financial institution grandeur.
Inception: 1894
