The photo of the week depicts a holiday display at the Williamsburgh Savings Bank around 1960 in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn. This photograph comes from the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Building photographs and architectural drawings collection comprised of photographs and drawings spanning the years 1888 to 2001 that primarily documents the design and construction of the now landmarked building at One Hanson Place.
