The subject here is the Equitable bank building in Washington, D.C., one of the commercial structures that the city's banks and financial houses put up along its downtown avenues. Banks of that era often used stone facades, columns, and tall windows to suggest permanence and trustworthiness, since a customer's deposits depended on public confidence in the institution. Architecture of this kind also reflects the growth of the capital's business district, when the federal city was becoming a center for finance as well as government. Look closely at the cornice, the entrance, and the window details, which show how designers balanced classical ornament with the practical needs of a working office building.
