Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower

The Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower, at 1 Hanson Place between Ashland Place and St. Felix Street in Brooklyn, New York City, is one of the borough's architectural icons. It was once the tallest building in the borough, at 37 stories and 512 feet (156 m) tall, but has been surpassed in height by the Brooklyner. It is among the tallest four-sided clock towers in the world. The clock faces, in diameter, were the world's largest when they were installed. Since 2007–08, the building has been converted into luxury condominium apartments under the name 1 Hanson Place.
== History ==
It was built in 1927–29 as the new headquarters for the Williamsburgh Savings Bank〔 by the architectural firm Halsey, McCormack and Helmer. It was then owned by the bank's parent, Republic National Bank, then, via a merger, HSBC, which has since relocated across the street to 118 Flatbush Avenue. For years the building's offices were notably dentists' offices; the ''New York Daily News'' once called it "The Mecca of Dentistry".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BANK ON CONDOS NBA GREAT IN $71M TOWER DEAL )
The building was declared a New York City landmark in 1977, and the interior in 1996.〔, p.246〕 Replacement of windows engendered a lawsuit from the Landmarks Preservation Commission that forced restoration of the original appearance of the windows.〔(Christopher Gray, "Streetscapes: Williamsburgh Savings Bank; Resolving the Case of Missing Muntins", ''The New York Times'' ), 12 November 1989.〕
In 2005, Skylight Group One Hanson was created in conjunction with Canyon Capital Realty Advisers, as part of their massive redevelopment of the former Williamsburgh Savings Bank Building. Located in one of Brooklyn’s most famous landmarks, the Skylight One Hanson event space is composed of the Romanesque Beaux Arts Bank Hall and the Art Deco Vault. Throughout the restoration and redevelopment of the building, great care was taken to preserve the architectural prestige of its marble floors, carved teller stations, magnificent 63-foot vaulted ceiling and the iconic 40-foot mosaic of New York as a Dutch colony.〔("A Landmark Restored, From Mosaic Marble Floor to Grand Dome" ), ''The New York Times", March 13, 2014〕 At the same time, Magic Johnson converted the building to luxury loft condominiums in 2006–07, and the tower houses 176 apartments with 138 distinct floor plans, from 295 square foot studios to 3,263 square foot full-floor four-bedroom units.〔 In 2008 CJ Follini and Noyack Medical Partners purchased the commercial half of the famed landmark.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Noyack Medical Partners Snags Office Condo )
