Interior of WSB-Weylin B Seymour's Dome |
The bank building's latest restoration work was undertaken as part of a development project to repurpose the structure for an event space and banquet hall connected to a future hotel.[3] Sitting in the shadow of the Williamsburg Bridge and across from Peter Luger Steak House, the new event space is in a prime location for the development.

Seen in the slide show above is the restored interior of the bank including the bird cage elevator, hinge & door knob castings, tile floors, domes and various other features. After touring the interior of the Williamsburg Savings Bank - Weylin B Seymour's, I have to say that the current owners deserve a lot of credit and all of the accolades they have received to date for their work on the building.
