Apple Bank for Savings

 bank, Art Deco (architecture), historical layer / disappeared object

3-story Art-Deco bank building completed in 1948. Designed by Frederick L. Ackerman with Charles G. Ramsey and Harold R. Sleeper as associate architects, it opened as the Broadway Savings Bank. It later became a branch of Emigrant Savings and is now an Apple Bank. It is clad in limestone, with one large, triple-height opening at the center, in which the windows are recessed behind a subtle floral motif. The windows are arranged in a grid by thin steel framing, and metal spandrel panels separate the floors. The ground floor has two sets of metal-framed glass doors and windows, and to either side is a stone panel with four vertical grooves. At the top of the facade, the words "BROADWAY SAVINGS BANK" are still carved into the stone.
