The building was the first and largest high-rise construction in New Rochelle prior to the recent transformation of New Rochelle with numerous new mixed-use and multi-family buildings. The bank’s goal was to positively stimulate a dormant area of the city center. In addition to being clad with two shades of limestone, a bas relief sculpture was commissioned and integrated into the architectural design.
