context_page_description: The Bowery Savings Bank was a bank in New York City. It was chartered in May 1834 and is now part of Capital One Bank.
context_section_description: The bank decided to move its headquarters in 1920, and a new building was constructed from 1921 to 1923 at 110 East 42nd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues across from Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan. It was designed by York and Sawyer in Italian Romanesque Revival style, with William Louis Ayres as the partner in charge. The huge interior, which measures 65 feet high, 80 feet wide and 197 1/2 feet long, utilizes marble, limestone, sandstone and bronze screens to create a space reminiscent of a basilica.  It has been called "one of the great spaces of New York." A six-story addition to the east, which came to be called "The Chapel", was built in 1931–33.
  The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1996.  The ground floor is now a Cipriani restaurant and upscale event space.
