History

The Bankers Trust Company was founded in 1917[2] and its offices were originally located in the State Savings Bank Building, at the northeast corner of West Congress and Shelby Streets.[3] The bank later hired the architectural firm of Smith, Hinchman & Grylls to design a new headquarters building down the street; the structure, designed by Wirt C. Rowland, was completed in 1925.[4][5] The Bankers Trust Company occupied the building from 1925 to 1948, when a brokerage firm moved in.[3] The structure later housed a fast food restaurant, a diner, and several nightclubs, before being sold in 2015 to an unidentified buyer for $3 million.[3][6]

Description

The two-story building is faced with terra cotta and includes elaborate exterior Italian Romanesque–style decorations, with massive arched windows designed to admit light to the banking room.[1] The large first-floor arches are echoed on the second floor. Green marble columns topped with lions flank the corner entrance, which once had a revolving door (now removed).[7] The interior has been remodeled multiple times as the structure served different uses; the three-story addition on Shelby Street, designed in the International Style, was completed in 1960.[3]
