The Continental Bank Building is a skyscraper in New York City that was completed in 1932. ==Origins== In 1929, a new 50-story building was announced at 30 Broad Street (location of the 15-story Johnston Building) to house the Continental Bank and various brokers. The site extends along Broad Street at , the length of Exchange Place runs from New Street, and runs along New Street. The building site was once owned by the Dutch church which had erected the city’s second almshouse on the site before 1659. Broad Street was originally a canal first known as “Common Ditch” then later “The Prince’s Ditch”. The canal was filled in 1676, and it was first paved in 1693. The estimated cost of the new building is $20 million. The project is the largest single cooperative building venture undertaken to this time. Cross and Cross architects are announced as the building’s planners. An “unusual” feature of the building is a sub-basement clearing house where owner-tenants each have floor space and can transact business with other owner-tenants in the building by a system of pneumatic tubes to exchange receipts.
