The subject here is the First National Bank in Syracuse, New York, a city in the central part of the state that grew rapidly through the nineteenth century on salt, canal trade and later manufacturing. Banks of this kind were often the most imposing buildings on their street, with stone or masonry façades, tall windows and columns meant to suggest permanence and public trust. The caption card does not record a date, so the photograph's exact year is uncertain, but its format as a single photographic print places it in the period when such architectural views were routinely made for civic and commercial record.
