Alamo National Bank Building, 1929
This 24-story building on the south side of the street became the second home of Alamo National Bank. The distinctive Alamo stained glass (added in 1964), elaborate bronze and marble finishes, and interior ceiling moldings are worth a detour into the lobby of this Art Deco skyscraper. Art-Deco style oil paintings depicting “Trust” and “Thrift” are a recent addition made during the 1993 filming of the movie Blank Check. The building now serves as a hotel.
