Architectural eyecatcher -

I wonder if this Chase branch on Broadway & Country Club was actually designed as a bank. Shown here is the southern wing of the building - so interesting with its pierced design and its interior garden space. I love that the palm trees peep out of the top! Anyone know the history of this curvy white building?

  1. Wow, that is an unusual building for a bank branch. You will have to let us know if it turns out it started it's life as something else entirely.

    1. Yep it was designed by an architect who recently passed away, Bernie Friedman, and it was originally a bank...Valley National.
