Dollar Savings Bank

The Dollar Savings Bank of New York, operational from 1890 to 2004, was a significant financial institution in New York City. Founded by John Haffen, it faced challenges in the 1980s, leading to a merger with Dry Dock Savings Bank. In 1992, the bank was seized by state authorities, resulting in the sale of its branches. Notably, its headquarters in the Bronx was recognized for its historical significance and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011, making it an interesting site for tourists and researchers alike.
