It was the home of the Riggs National

The architect of this building was George
Hadfield, prominent member of his pro-
fesson al the time, and for a while archi-
tect of the United States Capitol building
and of the design for the city hall and
other buildings in Washington.
II the latter part of the year 1895 the
branch bank closed its doors, and the char
ter of the parent institution was not re-
newed by Congress.
Four years later, or in 1889, It was pro-
posed to remove the city post office to the
old branch bank building, but this was
not done and In 1915 the property was
sold to the firm of Corcoran 81 Riggs

lished there private banking house.

so the general style IS known as the classic,
revived and adapted to modern uses. The
choice of the style of the architecture was
further fortunate, as it adapts the new
structure TO its surroundings. Placed next
door to the Riggs Bank, 1t employs the
same cornice and even uses the same height
of stone courses, while its Ionic columns,
forty feet in height, are identical with those
of Riggs. and with the columns of the

An Appropriate Interior.
The interior of the building Is thoroughly
in keeping with the monumental simplicity
OF the exterior. While the main floor of
the banking room is 50xS5 feet, one sees
into open galleries at each end of this space
the full extent of the 100 feet
The walls to the height of the gallery
foors-some fifteen feet-are built of blocks
| Of Vermont marble, slightly marked. This
marble work. like that in the safe deposit
vaults below, IS not a mere facing, but Is
/ built up like stone work, and is as thorough
job as the granite work OF the exterior
| The public space is in the center of the
| room, the screen dividing 1t from the Of
| hcers room and the working space being
| built OF royal Irish connemara marble
| and of bronze. The windows open from the
officers rooms on the right and left of the
| entrance, but the body of the room is light
| ed by three skylights, the central one over
the public space being fifty feet long.
The Scheme of Decoration.
The decoration of the room in tones of
! the marble and the bronze with the panels
| between the columns and the pilasters in
| duh red porphyry. has been done by Mr.
| Elmer Z. Garsney. whose work in the
| Library of Congress and the Riggs Bank
and The Star building is well known in this
| city
| Wide marble staircases lead down to the
| safe deposit department one of the most
| complete and spacious In the country The
| thoroughness with which the work in all its
| de tails has been done as well as the ex-
| cellence of the material employed is quite
evident TO any one who examines the build
| ing with any care.
! The check desks. the metal furniture the
| great chandeliers hanging by thirty feet
| OF chain from the vaulted ceiling, all the
| details which the modern ideas of fire
probing and of perfect banking can sug-
gest have been studied with the same care
| by officers and architects as the plan of
the working space or of the design of the
| focade.
York & Sawyer were the architects.
History of the Site.
AS far as can be aseertained this particu-
lar site has had no associations that are
not financial since the first building was
erected on It in 1S23-1So4 This first struc-
| ture was one built by the Second United
| States Bank for the use of its branch In
this city, and was occupied by this branch
| on June %. 1924.
| For the times this was considered very
fine and elaborate banking house apd well
| suited to the requirements of the business
| ia that day, and II did, in fact, serve excel
| lently It's purpose for period of over sew
| enty-fve years. for until February 20, 1901
