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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
