The Brooklyn Trust Company Building
The Brooklyn Trust Company Building designed by York & Sawyer c. 1916 at 177 Montague Street in Brooklyn, New York. Click HERE for more on the Brooklyn Trust Company and HERE to see the building on google street view.
Love the old regal bank buildings. I remember going to a bank in Oyster Bay with my mother as a child -- beautiful building where there were still real ink pens with inkwells to fill out forms. I don't think our plastic-y ATMs even have the cheap ballpoints on the chains anymore.

ReplyDeleteThis one is a real Wow
