The Traders Bank - Greater Hazleton Historical Society

In an attempt to promote knowledge on local history, Hazleton News 1 has been working in an effort to collect posts and information from the Greater Hazleton Historical Society and Museum:

The Traders Bank Building at Broad and Wyoming Streets remains one of the tallest buildings in Hazleton.

The neo-gothic masterpiece was completed in 1925.

The limestone building was designed and built by Mowbray and Uffinger, an architectural firm in New York City known for bank buildings in the pre-World War II era.

Originally called the American Bank and Trust Building, the tower has many ornamental features, including gargoyles carved above the first floor.
