Glass negative showing a view of the National Bank at 5504 Germantown Avenue, a two-story stone building with an elaborate cornice and decorative iron bars over the windows designed by James Charles Sidney (1819-1881). Trolley tracks run down the center of the brick road. A telephone pole stands in front of the bank and a lamp post stands on the corner to the left. Other buildings line the road to the right. The National Bank of Germantown was chartered by the state of Pennsylvania in 1813 and began operations in 1814 in the parlor of the house of Dr. Charles Bensell. The bank built a new building on this site in 1868. The building was altered in 1890, 1907, and 1930.
