The New York Clearing House Association building at Cedar Street between Broadway and Nassau Street. The New York Clearing House Association created in 1853, is the first and largest U.S. bank clearing house and has helped the banking system in America's financial capital to develop. Initially, it simplified the chaotic settlement process among the banks of NYC. Seven architects submitted plans for the New York Clearing House building and after several weeks of discussion, the design of Robert W. Gibson was selected in 1894. The NY Times announced "There will be four stories and a basement in the structure, which will have a marble front. One of the striking features of the front will be four Corinthian pillars of polished marble. A dome will surmount the building." In the spring of 1963 the Clearing House Association abandoned its Temple to Finance and moved to new headquarters. The building was demolished and replaced by the 51 story Marine Midland Building, completed in 1967. Photographed by Irving Underhill, 1912.
