The Mount Morris Bank Building, also known as the Corn Exchange Bank (Mount Morris Branch), stands at the northwest corner of Park Avenue and East 125th Street in East Harlem, Manhattan. Designed by the firm Lamb & Rich and completed in 1883, the structure exemplifies the Queen Anne and Richardson Romanesque styles that made it an architectural standout when new. The building fell into severe decline by the late 1970s, remaining vacant and vandalized for three decades until a 1997 fire accelerated its deterioration. The city demolished most of the damaged structure in 2009 for safety reasons, but a developer's 2012 reconstruction project successfully rebuilt the building for commercial use, reopening it in May 2015. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 and designated a New York City Landmark in 1993.
