Guardian Banking Room, 1956

Guardian Banking Room, 1956
Walker and Weeks also redesigned the interior of the Guardian Savings and Trust Building in 1915, creating this banking room full of Corinthian columns, pink Georgia marble, and bronze detailing finished in gold.

Guardian Savings and Trust, founded in Cleveland in 1894, was ordered to liquidate after the March 1933 bank holiday, and its president later served 2 years in prison for bank fraud stemming from his activities at Guardian.
