HHL Architects transformed the former Pierce Arrow auto showroom into the corporate headquarters and a branch bank for the newly established Greater Buffalo Savings Bank. The project involved reconstituting the art deco styling of the showroom into the branch bank lobby and platform area. Salvaged bronze gates were incorporated into a marble teller line to reflect the marble, stone and bronze details of the existing showroom space. A new vestibule and drive-up teller canopy was also added, while the rear maintenance space was converted into the corporate offices.
