New York Merchants Exchange/later National City Bank/now Regency Wall Street Hotel - 55 Wall Street:
Designed by prominent Boston architect Isaiah Rogers and constructed between 1836 and 1842. The fa?ade of the original four-story, Greek revival style building featured twelve massive ionic columns. In 1899, First National Bank, which subsequently become Citibank, commissioned architects McKIM, Mead and White to remodel the building for use as their headquarters. Sold in the mid-1980s, the former bank building became the Regent Wall Street Hotel in 1999. After the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on Sept 11, 2001, 55 Wall Street served as a relief center for workers and area residents. |
