    Somehow it was the financial institutions that created the most beautiful buildings - banks, insurance companies, chambers of commerce etc.

      I guess they have to show off their wealth as a safe place to put your money. This one has some the latest style of the times but has kept colour out of it so they are not too jazzy.
