The Williamsburgh Savings Bank was an important institution in Brooklyn, New York, from the mid-19th to the mid-20th centuries. It is best remembered for two imposing headquarters buildings still standing, the domed original ^[2] at 175 Broadway in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, designed by George B. Post, and the later Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower.^[3] Williamsburgh Savings Bank opened the former building in 1875. A series of mergers brought the bank into the HSBC group late in the 20th century.

The building at 175 Broadway is listed by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, and on the National Register of Historic Places.^[1] In 2010 Juan Figueroa bought the building and adjacent property for $4.5 million for conversion to a banquet hall named Weylin.^[4]^[5]^[6]
