It typifies the small, well-crafted bank buildings erected in the prosperous decade before the 1932-1933 banking crisis. It also reflects the classically inspired eclecticism common in Roslyn after 1910 and retains excellent architectural integrity.","narrative":"Built in 1931 at the northeast corner of Old Northern Boulevard and Remsen Avenue in Roslyn, this one-story brick building was designed as a bank by New York architect William Bunker Tubby. It has a flat roof, a three-bay west facade, and a center entrance beneath a wooden Tuscan portico with paired columns. Round-arched, multi-light windows have limestone keystones, spring blocks and sills, and a continuous entablature topped by a balustrade encircles the building. The design recalls Jefferson's Roman Neoclassicism, while the entrance and window details lean toward Georgian styles. It is considered a representative example of small-scale Neoclassical bank design from the prosperous years before the 1932-1933 banking crisis. Together with the 1932 Roslyn Savings Bank, it reflects the village's continued optimism during the early Depression. Tubby, who practiced between 1890 and 1942, probably received the commission through his brother, then the bank's president. The interior has been converted to offices, but the exterior remains largely intact.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect William Bunker Tubby; builder Robert Nash Co., Inc., Flushing, N.Y.","architectural_style":"Modified Neoclassical","criteria":[],"status_note":"Originally a bank, now used as an office building; condition rated fair, with the interior converted to offices and no threats known.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.187989-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/86002639.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002639/82caaf68ef-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002639/82caaf68ef-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"DanTD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Roslyn_National_Bank_%26_Trust(Tyrone)-2.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">DanTD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Roslyn_National_Bank_%26_Trust(Tyrone)-2.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75313702","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roslyn_National_Bank_and_Trust_Company_Building","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7369060"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/nassau-county/roslyn-national-bank-and-trust-company-building-86002639/"}
