Summary

Description Caption: "United States Bank at Philadelphia" Text: "The central office of the United States Bank, was a Philadelphia, and a fine marble building was devoted to its use. This bank, which ceased by limitation of its charter, in 1836, to be a national institution, was rechartered by the state of Pennsylvania as a state institution. Thus deprived of the main elements of its strength, and being imprudently managed, it was involved in the bankruptcy which, at the period we are speaking of, spread over the country. The building above alluded to, which is still one of the ornaments of the city of Philadelphia, is now used for the Custom House of this city."
