NYFE Summary

The bank served a neighborhood with many German, Hungarian and Czech residents. An expansion added more space while continuing the earlier building's exterior design.

Large arched openings rise above a stone base. White brick, terra-cotta ornament and cast-bronze entrance doors gave a local financial institution an unusually elaborate street front.
