    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 19, 2006; Designation List 380 LP-2201 STATEN ISLAND SAVINGS BANK BUILDING, 81 Water Street, Staten Island. Built 1924-1925; Architects, Delano & Aldrich. Landmark Site: Staten Island Borough Tax Map Block 521, Lot 28. On May 16, 2006, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Staten Island Savings Bank and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Five speakers including representatives of City Councilmember Michael E. McMahon, the Historic Districts Council, Society for the Architecture of the City, Municipal Art Society and Preservation League of Staten Island testified in favor of this designation. A representative of the owner asked the Landmarks Preservation Commission to defer action until recommendations for the overall reinvestment plan for Stapleton is finalized in autumn 2006. Summary The neo-Classical style Staten Island Savings Bank was constructed on the prominent corner of Water and Beach Streets in downtown Stapleton in 1924-25. Designed by the nationally-significant firm of Delano & Aldrich (and one of only a few buildings attributed to Aldrich), it is an important example of twentieth-century Italian Renaissance-inspired neo- Classicism in Staten Island. The architects took advantage of the acute angle of the site to create a dramatic entrance of a colonnaded portico with a fish-scaled cast-lead dome. The facades reflect the interior plan, with rusticated limestone and tall arched windows defined by Tuscan pilasters for the public banking area and ashlar limestone for the administrative offices.
