Formerly part of Republic National Bank and the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower designed c. 1929 by Halsey, McCormack & Helmer with fixtures by P.E. Guerin Company and ironwork by Oscar Bach. The vaulted banking room is 112 ft wide, 73 ft long and 63 ft high (34x22x19m).

The interior banking hall was used as a filming location for White Collar S02 E01 "Withdrawal" when Neal poses as a bank employee to infiltrate a vault to find its vulnerabilities.

  • "Magic" Johnson represents a group that is now converting this into luxury condominiums. For most of its history, the tower was rented to dentists and I still think of it as a tower of pain. The former bank at the base has a wonderful early 20th century interior with a mosaic ceiling depicting the constellations. It may be turned into a restaurant.
