EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Girard Trust Building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, dating back to the early 20th century. Designed by renowned architect Frank Furness, this neo-classical masterpiece served as the headquarters for Girard Trust Bank. The building's grandeur is evident in its striking exterior featuring a dome and cupola that add a touch of elegance to Philadelphia's urban landscape. In 1930, an adjoining tower was constructed next to the original domed building, designed by McKim, Mead & White and completed in 1931. This expansion marked another milestone for Girard Trust Bank as it continued to grow and solidify its position as a trusted financial institution. Today, the 1908 domed building has been transformed into The Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia hotel while still retaining its historic charm. This photograph serves as a testament to both architectural brilliance and the enduring legacy of Girard Trust Bank. Captured by an American photographer from Bridgeman Images' private collection, this image showcases not only the beauty of architecture but also highlights America's rich history and cultural heritage. With its meticulous composition and timeless appeal, this print is sure to be cherished by art enthusiasts who appreciate both historical significance and artistic excellence.
