A bank building in New York City is the subject here, identified on an old caption card as the Bankers Trust Co. building. Bankers Trust was founded in 1903 and expanded quickly in the following decade, when the lower Manhattan financial district was filling with steel-framed offices and grand banking halls. Dated to about 1915, the photograph records that period of fast construction as the city's skyline rose. The date and building name come from unverified cataloging notes, so the view is best read as a period record rather than a confirmed document of a specific day.
