The West Side Savings Bank opens a classical building on this corner in 1929
Before the current apartment tower, the West Side Savings Bank stood on the corner at the northeast of West Ninth Street and Sixth Avenue. Halsey, McCormack & Helmer designed the classical building, completed in 1929, as a long narrow structure with a rusticated base. On the avenue the narrow end held a big arched doorway topped by a loggia of paired columns. It was an earlier building on the site.
“On this site, at the northeast corner of West Ninth Street and Sixth Avenue, once stood the very handsome classical building of the West Side Savings Bank.”

The thirteen-story brick apartment house on the corner of Sixth Avenue and West Ninth Street was built in 1958 on the site of what had been six separate city lots. It has metal windows, a central recessed section whose brickwork changes color to make a horizontal band, and angled corners on its top floor. Shops occupy the Sixth Avenue frontage, with the residential entrance at the north end.
