E. corner of Concord Street, showing the Brooklyn Savings Bank of the 1800's, the building extending east to Liberty Street and bearing number 62 on the latter. The bank purchased the building in 1846 and rebuilt it in the 1880's. It was sold in 1908 and a new bank structure erected at Pierpont and Clinton Streets. Peter's Tavern later came to occupy the building. 1922 Eugene L. Armbruster Collection (2) The old bank building, being used as Peter's Tavern. June 2, 1931 P. L.
