Skidmore Owings and Merrill | Bronze Plaque for Banks | Extant | Jamaica Estates | Bank | 1971 |Designed by the prolific firm of Skidmore Owings and Merrill, this one-story bank branch has a long wall of white travertine panels facing Hillside Avenue.

Both ends of the building are enclosed in a full glass wall and a now-closed drive through teller window is located on the interior side wall.
