Seventh Street Savings Bank, located in the historic Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C., is a notable structure listed on both the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites and the National Register of Historic Places. Designed by architect Alfred Rich Alphonsus FitzSimons in 1913, this Classical Revival building once housed a neighborhood bank and featured apartments and commercial spaces.
Despite its eventual closure during the Banking Crisis of 1933, Seventh Street Savings Bank remains a significant architectural landmark with a temple-front fa ade, textured buff brick exterior, and intricate limestone and terra cotta trim. The building's history as a neighborhood bank and its unique design elements contribute to its status as the last standing structure in a once bustling commercial block.
