Bankers Trust Company Building

Midtown

The Bankers Trust Company Building stands out on Wall Street with its massive granite stepped pyramid crowning the roof, a design so iconic it became the company's logo. Built in 1912 before setback laws reshaped the skyline, its straight vertical lines offer a glimpse of what New York skyscrapers looked like before zoning stepped in.
