The Williamsburgh Savings Bank was an important institution in Brooklyn in the middle 19th to middle 20th centuries. A series of bank mergers bought it into the HSBC group late in the century. It is best remembered for two imposing headquarters buildings still standing, the domed original at 175 Broadway in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and the later Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower.
