Bank Elevation Pennsylvania Philadelphia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print depicts the exterior elevation of the Second Bank of the United States building, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the year 1818. Designed by renowned architect William Strickland, the bank's imposing neoclassical facade showcases intricate details and symmetrical design elements, reflecting the economic and architectural prowess of the young nation. The North and South fronts of the building are illustrated here, with the North facade featuring a central portico supported by six Doric columns, while the South facade displays a large central entrance flanked by four Ionic columns. The meticulously crafted cornice, adorned with acanthus leaves and other classical motifs, crowns the building, adding to its grandeur. This architectural masterpiece served as the United States' central bank from 1819 to 1836, providing a vital financial foundation for the country during a critical period of its history. The print, with its intricate details and beautiful composition, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the architectural and historical significance of this iconic building.
