One Hanson Place

One Hanson Place
Originally the Williamsburg Savings Bank, this 35 story building was the unrivaled tallest building in Brooklyn for years. 

Built between 1927-1929, it was declared a historic landmark condominium building in 1977. Residents of the building enjoy a Fitness Center with terrace, Sky Lounge with terrace, two additional common terraces, Conference Center, Individual Storage, Children's Playroom, Bike Room and Stroller Storage.

The building features a gilded copper dome; carved lions, turtles and birds on the exterior; and a marble banking hall on the ground floor with 63-foot (19 m) vaulted ceilings, 40-foot (12 m) windows and elaborate mosaics; and two abandoned public observation decks with signage describing the Battle of Brooklyn.
