Historic Savings Banks in New York City
From the 1890's to the 1930's a spate of savings banks were built in New York, the splendor of which rivals some of the best civic buildings around. They're a vanishing lot (the one at 96th Street and Amsterdam Avenue was turned into a Duane Reade, ad the one one East 85th became a Gap store).
