"The Knickerbocker Trust was a bank based in New York City that was, at one time, among the largest banks in the United States. It was a central player in the Panic of 1907."
"The New York City bank was housed in a Roman-style temple designed by McKim, Mead, and White and erected between 1902 and 1904 at the northwest corner of 34th Street and Fifth Avenue. Stanford White's design allowed for the possibility of adding nine stories of offices upon the structure."
"The Stanford White building was enlarged by ten stories in 1921, and the façade completely redesigned in 1958, with its signature pilasters covered over; it still remains, its original form unrecognizable."

New York National Guard 7th Regiment marches north up 5th Avenue past the New York Public Library at 42d Street on November 28, 1916, returning from Texas on the way to their armory.

Thanks Art for locating where this photo was taken. We'll include that in the description. I like how company building the Astor Trust building made sure to put a sign showing their name in the upper left corner.
