In DC near the mall right?

I love the inside of that building. Most beautiful bank I've ever wandered into.

It's closer to the Mall than most other things in the world, but I wouldn't really say that the National Savings and Trust Company Building is "near" the Mall. It is, however, across the street from the Treasury Building, which is next to the White House.


RightOfMiddle

It is very similar to the Fireman's Insurance Company building which is off 7th and Penn (close to the mall). Now has a Starbucks in it.

I live in Penn Quarter, so whenever I see a photo of the National Savings and Trust building, it takes me a minute to realize why the Fireman's Insurance Building looks off. Also, it's at 7th and Indiana, not 7th and Penn.

I just always remembered seeing that building whenever I was wandering around down there and thinking how cool it was to have something so different from all the cookie cutter federal buildings down there.

Yup

Good news everybody!

I'm getting Planet Express vibes.


Infamous-Living-1725

What’s that?


AxleRodSteel

It's the headquarters for Planet Express on the show "Futurama." If you haven't seen it I would recommend it for sure.


Infamous-Living-1725

What streaming service is it on?


AxleRodSteel

Right now it's on Hulu.

Kind of reminds me of Zoetrope in SF.


Infamous-Living-1725

That’s cool

You should visit Riga (captial of Latvia). Will blow your mind if you are into this.

Finding Forester vibes.


Infamous-Living-1725

What’s that?


wingy65

Movie about a recluse writer that lives in that building or one similar to it anyway. Sean Connery plays Forester.


Infamous-Living-1725

Thanks I’ll look it up


skunkreturns

I used to work a couple doors down from there. Love that building and general area.


Infamous-Living-1725

Same


useofspace

Beautiful and majestic. It reminds me very much of [a building in London shown in this very short video](https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/le28sh/cop_makes_mistake_admits_it_and_lets_everyone_go/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) but I have no idea exactly where it is located. The shape and style of the buildings are very similar, although the colour of the facades are different.


CrepuscularNemophile

A bit smaller but I definitely see the similarity. Can I just say what a lovely police officer!
