Description
Colorized photo from 1920
Original Title: American Security & Trust
Location: 1501 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C.
This is the American Security & Trust bank, originally built in 1902. Its actually on the $10 bill, just off to the side. The term - "right on the money" - is related to this particular bank.
The building is actually fairly small considering its height, so there wasn't a lot of space to grow into. This is probably the reason there is a banker cage in front of the offices there. It removed some of the ambiance and elegance, but what are you going to do?
