The Jarmulowsky Bank Building is a 12-story building on the

Orchard Street, the Jarmulowsky Bank Building was built in 1912 and designed by architects William Lawrence Rouse and Lafayette A. Goldstone in the Beaux-Arts style.[1] The building is clad with limestone on its lower stories and architectural terracotta
on its upper stories.

Sender Jarmulowsky established the Jarmulowsky Bank in 1873. When World War I broke out two years after the building was completed, there was a run on the bank, as German investors withdrew funds to send to relatives abroad, and the bank failed.[2]

Until 1990, the building had a tempietto rising 50 feet to a dome ringed by eagles. The building was renovated in 1990 by Sing May Realty and the tempietto destroyed. DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners announced plans in 2013 to convert the structure to a hotel.[3] In 2014, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a replica tempietto,[4] which was completed by the beginning of 2020.[5] A luxury hotel, Nine Orchard, opened at the building in June 2022.[6][7]
