NYFE Summary

The bank used this tower to bring trust-company and banking operations together. Its small upper floors rise from a much broader base fitted into an irregular street block.

Large carved figures sit above the lower walls. Coin designs on the doors refer to international banking. Walk around the base to see how the entrances and stonework change as the building follows the surrounding streets.
