William Lee Stoddart was the architect of this bank, whose colossal arch is its distinguishing feature. Stoddart was mainly known for hotels, but he could also turn out a bank, or a large office building like the Nissen Building in Winston-Salem, which old Pa Pitt has also photographed.
The bank has been abandoned for years; like many things in Braddock, it stands empty because no one has the will to restore it or the money to take it down.
