New York City Designated Landmark

55 Wall Street was designed by prominent Boston Architect Isaiah Rogers and constructed between 1836 and 1842. The façade of the original four-story, Greek Revival style building features twelve massive Ionic columns, each a single block of Quincy granite. In 1899, First National Bank, which subsequently became Citibank, commissioned architects McKim, Mead and White to remodel the building for use as their headquarters. The architects added four stories to the building and superimposed a second colonnade of Corinthian columns above the original façade. They also redesigned the interior into an immense banking hall featuring a sixty-foot-high central dome and offices at each corner. 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 September 11, 2001, 55 Wall Street served as a relief center for workers and area residents.
