The Landmarks Preservation Commission has voted unanimously in favor of the designation of a prominent Beaux-Arts bank building at the base of the Manhattan Bridge, the government agency announced yesterday. The domed building, at 58 Bowery at the corner of Canal Street in Chinatown, opened its doors for the first time in 1924 and at one time housed the Citizens Savings Bank. “The design and materials were meant to convey the bank’s financial stability and assure the public that their deposits were safe,” said Commission Chairman Robert Tierney.
The bank was designed by architect Clarence Brazer and is currently home to an HSBC branch. — Katherine Clarke
