The Ossining National Bank
The Ossining National Bank, remodeled in 1906 in the Renaissance Revival style, was inspired by the famous library of St. Mark's in Venice, Italy. Included among these elements are the red, hipped Spanish tile roof and the Doric and Ionic columns on the main facade. The Barlow Block, the row of buildings of which the bank is part, was actually constructed more than three decades earlier; the Ossining Post Office occupied this portion of the Block until moving to Highland Avenue. Architect William H. Rahman was hired to give the bank's portion of the Block a more contemporary appearance. The bank's pink granite cladding was quarried at Crotch Island in Stonington, Maine; stone from this quarry was also used to build the Smithsonian Institution and Rockefeller Center.
