are like balconies: windows are further back.

The Williamsburg Bank Building. Brooklyn, New York. "Williamsburg" once ended with an "H," and you can see remnant H's engraved here and there. This bank building bears one, as does Dime Savings Bank off Broadway in the Williamsburg section. So technically the correct spelling of this building's name is the Williamsburgh Bank Building. According to this page the neighborhood of Williamsburgh dropped its H in 1855. I presume the bank's name predates that, the building does not. Copyright © 2004 Frank Lynch.
