It is one of the major surviving works of Furness, whose designs are central to Victorian architecture in Philadelphia. The building is regarded as one of the finest pieces of architecture in West Philadelphia, and the nomination treats it as a leading example of the city's Victorian commercial design. The property was placed on the National Register in 1971 on the strength of its architectural importance. In the early 1970s the building was used as a First Pennsylvania Bank office, while Drexel University held an option on the site as part of its campus expansion. The nomination's significance rests on its design quality and on the importance of Furness's surviving work in the city.","period_of_significance":"1876","architect_builder":"Frank Furness (architect)","architectural_style":null,"criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Owned by First Pennsylvania Bank and in use as its Centennial office at the time of a 1972 letter; the same letter says Drexel University held an option on the property and intended to demolish it.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:29.0096-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/71000721.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/71000721/f383f5c663-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/71000721/f383f5c663-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Jack Boucher","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Centennial_National_Bank.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jack Boucher</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Centennial_National_Bank.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71997014","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_National_Bank","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5059186"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/philadelphia/centennial-national-bank-71000721/"}
