"147th Street and Willis Avenue. Dollar Savings Bank, circa 1918." The Dollar Savings Bank was founded in the Bronx in 1887 by John Haffen, a member of a prominent local family. The original location was housed at 2808 Third Avenue, but the space quickly became insufficient for the thriving business. This 1918/1919 Classical Revival building sits on a trapezoidal corner lot and fronts three different streets. The distinguished building remained the headquarters of the bank until the 1950s when the headquarters was moved to the Fordham branch. This building was sold in 1974 to a Seventh Day Adventist Church.
