About Chinatown Landmark Bank Hall

This is a landmarked 1924 savings bank in Chinatown, built in the Beaux-Arts style with a carved limestone facade, monumental arched windows and a dome you can see from the foot of the Manhattan Bridge. Inside, the old banking hall rises about 70 ft to an octagonal clerestory and a central oculus, with stone pilasters and molded ceilings all the way up.

The building reopened in 2026 as a contemporary arts space, so it already runs exhibitions, performances and a designer runway show. The main floor holds up to 450 guests and books as a full-day buyout. For smaller groups, the same building has a 4,000 sq ft seventh floor that books separately (see Chinatown Landmark Seventh Floor). Bring your own caterer and production, or let us put the team together.

Know before you book

  • Day rate covers the space only: catering, rentals, staffing and production are budgeted separately.
  • The building is a city landmark, so installs need to be freestanding and nothing can be fixed to the historic surfaces.
  • Up to 450 guests on the main floor; seated counts depend on your layout, and we confirm them with the venue for your date.
  • Exact address shared once we confirm your date.
