Inscription. This terra-cotta-clad flat-iron building makes the most of its triangular building lot. Like many neighborhood banks from the 1920s, the Marshfield Trust and Savings Bank employed the Classical Revival style of architecture to convey a sense of permanence and security. Arcaded two-story arched-windows extend across both street facades. The building contractor was Avery Brundage, who went on to be president of the International Olympic Committee.

Erected 2008 by Commission on Chicago Landmarks.
