Liberty National Bank, 139 Broadway - 1910
The Liberty National Bank of New York was housed at 139 Broadway in this two-story neoclassical building, with marble façade, standing on a plot 23.8 by 110 feet. The Bank, founded in 1891, moved to this building after 1899 (when the plot was occupied by John A. Eckert & Co. in a 4-story building) and left the building before 1921. The Liberty National Bank building was erected about 1900 and still existed in 1967, then the plot became part of the Liberty Plaza Park.
On the left is the six-story North American Trust Company Building. On the right is the Washington Life Insurance Co.
