Landsman & Smith design a Romanesque Revival bank building
Architects Landsman & Smith designed the bank building at the corner of Second Avenue and East 4th Street, completed in 1929 on the site of an earlier six-story tenement. Its limestone base, Corinthian pilasters, and green-and-beige terra-cotta spandrels combine Romanesque Revival and Classical Revival detailing with a nearly Moorish Deco flair; the building is now part of the East Village/Lower East Side Historic District.
