March 8, 1890.
The birthplace Of the bank was the Wash
ington Safe Deposit Company building, on
the south side of Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween 9th and 10th streets. In June, 1881.

lent location, where 1t Is easily reached by

under this arrangement: William H. But

was more rapid, as was also the business
of the banking concern, which grew 90 sucn
stupendous proportions that II was oeem ne
advisa Bile to merge the banking house into
a national bank, in order that the growing
business could be handled better. This was
done July 1, 1896, under the name OF the
Riggs National Bank, with Charles Z.

The business of this institution has grown
so rapidly since the change to a national

Charles c. Glover, the bank has reached

The early history of the bank is interest
ing, and is closely connected with the
growth and progress of the city.
George w. Riggs entered the banking
business in 1896 with his brother Elisha and
w. w. Corcoran, under the name or Cor
coran & Riggs The business was success
full, and in 1910 they purchased the property
on the corner of 18th street and Pennsyi-
vania avenue. then the old United States

The firm of Corcoran & Riggs was soon
recognized as an able one, and proved OF
such financial strength that during the war
with Mexico, in 1876, they took with un-
usual foresight the entire loan of 5000, 600,
outbidding all the bankers and brokers In
the country. Out of this loan they made a
large amount. In proving themselves able
