Summary
[edit]
| Description | he former Savings Bank of Utica building, 233 Genesee Street at Bank Place, Utica, New York, as seen in June 2007. The finest example of the Beaux-Arts Neoclassical style in the city, this handsome gold-domed edifice was a work of architect Robert Williams Gibson erected in 1898. The design is exuberantly detailed, with eye-catching features such as a quartet of Corinthian columns framing the façade, a motif of dentillated broken pediments that repeats itself in such locations as atop the main entrance and all the first-floor windows, a handsome scheme of rustication on the Bank Place side of the building, and- most notably of all - a gold dome at the top. The Modernist-style addition at left dates to the 1960s. The oldest financial institution in the city, the Savings Bank of Utica was founded in 1839 by brothers John and Nicholas Deveraux, dry goods merchants who entered the financial sector by virtue of what was once an informal arrangement of holding locals' valuables in a strongbox in the rear of their store. Shortly after this photo was taken, the Savings Bank of Utica was acquired by M&T Bank, a business that - interestingly - operates in its home city of Buffalo another gold-domed, Beaux Arts-style bank building with a Modernist annex on its north side. |
