Roosevelt Savings Bank, 1906-1907. This building, formerly the Eastern District Savings Bank, was designed by architects Helmle, Huberty, & Hudswell. It was renamed to honor President Theodore Roosevelt in 1920. The bank served those in the "Eastern District," which encompassed some of East Williamsburg, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Bushwick. The bank was utilized by many of the local businesses in the manufacturing industry.
