Bowery Savings Bank Building

The Bowery Savings Bank Building is a Classical Revival Building at 130 Bowery, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. It is at the junction of the Bowery and Grand Street.

The Bowery Savings Bank building was erected in 1894. It was built next to a building that belonged to a rival establishment, the Butcher' and Drovers' Bank, which refused to sell the corner plot to Bowery Savings Bank. So the architect designed the facade of the Bowery Savings Bank to wrap around the rival building.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
