The National Park Bank was founded in 1856 in New York City, and by the late 19th century, it did more commercial business than any other bank in the country. In 1911, it acquired the Wells Fargo Company. It was consolidated with Chase National Bank in 1929.

The bank built a significant Second Empire-style early skyscraper, designed by New York architect Griffith Thomas and finished in 1868. The building stood at 214-218 Broadway.
