Construido como la sede del en 1875 y posteriormente ampliado varias veces, ocupa la esquina noroeste de Broadway y Driggs Avenue, justo al sur del puente de Williamsburg. El Williamsburgh Savings Bank Building fue diseñado en estilo neoclásico diseñado por George B. Post, con interiores de . La parte original del edificio del banco al este y los anexos al oeste están diseñados con el mismo estilo. La fachada es de mármol, piedra caliza y arenisca. La entrada principal es a través de un tramo de escalones en Broadway, que conduce a un arco en el edificio original. El techo contiene una gran cúpula de acero sobre la parte original del edificio. En el interior, un vestíbulo decorativo conduce a la sala bancaria original, que tiene pilastras y arcos debajo de la cúpula pintada. Una segunda sala bancaria con una cúpula más pequeña estaba al oeste, mientras que las oficinas internas del banco estaban al norte. Post fue contratado para diseñar el edificio en 1869 tras ganar un concurso de arquitectura, y se inauguró en junio de 1875 como la tercera sede del banco. El negocio del banco se expandió hasta fines del siglo XIX, lo que llevó al banco a contratar a la firma Helmle, Huberty & Hudswell para diseñar una ampliación de 1903 a 1906. Se produjeron más expansiones entre 1923 y 1925 y entre 1941 y 1942. Aunque el banco trasladó su sede a One Hanson Place en Downtown Brooklyn en 1929, el edificio 175 Broadway permaneció en uso como sucursal. La fachada del edificio y la sala bancaria original son hitos de la ciudad de Nueva York, y el edificio se agregó al Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 1980. Después de varias fusiones, Williamsburgh Savings Bank fue adquirido por HSBC Bank USA, que vendió el edificio en 2010. Después de una renovación, la sala del banco se convirtió en un espacio para eventos llamado Weylin en 2014. (es)
  • The Williamsburgh Savings Bank Building, also known as the Weylin and 175 Broadway, is a former bank building at 175 Broadway in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. Constructed as the headquarters of the Williamsburgh Savings Bank in 1875 and subsequently expanded several times, it occupies the northwest corner of Broadway and Driggs Avenue, just south of the Williamsburg Bridge. The Williamsburgh Savings Bank Building was designed in the Classical Revival style by George B. Post, with interiors by Peter B. Wight. The portion of the bank building to the east, and the annexes to the west, are designed in the same style. The building's facade is made of marble, limestone, and sandstone. The main entrance is through a flight of steps on Broadway, leading up to an archway in the original building. The roof contains a large steel dome above the building's original portion. Inside, a decorative vestibule leads to the original banking room, which has pilasters and archways beneath the painted dome. A second banking room with a smaller dome was to the west, while the bank's internal offices were to the north. George B. Post was hired to design the 175 Broadway building in 1869 following an architectural design competition, and it opened in June 1875 as the bank's third headquarters. The bank's business expanded through the late 19th century, prompting the bank to hire the firm of Helmle, Huberty & Hudswell to design an addition from 1903 to 1906. Further expansions occurred in 1923–1925 and 1941–1942. Though the bank moved its headquarters to One Hanson Place in Downtown Brooklyn in 1929, the 175 Broadway building remained in use as a branch. The building's facade and original banking room are New York City designated landmarks, and the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Williamsburgh Savings Bank became part of HSBC Bank USA through several mergers, and HSBC sold the building in 2010. Following a renovation, the banking hall became an event space called the Weylin in 2014. (en)
