The First Bank Is a Wonderful Historic Site in Philly!

The First Bank of the United States is the birthplace of our modern American economy, and a marvel of neoclassical architecture. The physical building was fashioned after the temples of Greek antiquity, and towers over much of South Third Street. The establishment of the First Bank as an entity provided stability and order for our fledgling nation, lost in a sea of financial chaos. Even if you're not specifically touring historic sites in Philly, you can't just pass by the bank without appreciating, even for a moment, its beauty, its elegance, and its importance to U.S. History.
