This was the headquarters of the National Savings and Trust Company when it opened along New York Avenue in 1888. Architect James Hamilton Windrim is responsible for this Queen Anne design faced with red brick and terracotta. At the top of the cooper, tripartite bay windows are a fancy clock with Roman numerals and a gilded cupola. Since Washington, D. C.’s second oldest bank was acquired in 1985, this historic building has served as SunTrust’s main office in D.C.
