Kings County Savings Bank, located at 135 Broadway in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood, is a Second Empire-style bank building designed by William H. Willcox and prominent New York architect Gamaliel King, working as the firm King & Willcox. Construction began in 1860 and the building was completed in 1867. The structure served as a bank continuously until the 1990s, when the Williamsburg Art & Historical Center took over its operation in 1996. Designated a New York City landmark in 1966 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, the building stands as a notable example of French Second Empire architecture in Brooklyn.
