Mount Morris Bank becomes a Romanesque ruin

Christopher Gray has been documenting the sad slow-motion destruction of the Mount Morris Bank at Park and 125th in his New York Times column. In 1987, the endangered building was still seven stories (“The Mount Morris Bank: A Derelict Is Freshened Up, But Its Fate Is Still Uncertain” (30 August 1987)), but today just two stories remain (“A Once Proud Bank, Brought Low” (17 March 2010)).
