History

Mechanics and Metals National Bank of the City of New York banking room in 1921, covering an area of approximately 10,500 square feet.[1]

Mechanics National Bank was founded in 1810 in New York City. In 1910, it merged with National Copper Bank (est. 1907 in New York), and took the Mechanics and Metals National Bank name.[citation needed] In 1911, a new and unrelated bank with the name, National Copper Bank, was founded in Salt Lake City.

In May 1914, the directors of the Mechanics and Metals National Bank and the Fourth National Bank of New York agreed to unite. Mechanics and Metals had offered $200 a share for the stock of Fourth National. In March 1914, immediately before the merger, the Mechanics and Metals had net deposits of $58,433,000 and Fourth National had net deposits of $33,408,000. The resultant bank had net deposits of approximately $90,000,000.[2]

After approval from the

New York Produce Exchange National Bank.[3]

As of March 9, 1921, four national banks in New York City operated branch offices:

National City Bank.[4]

Between 1922 and 1925, together with several other New York banks, the Mechanics and Metals National Bank held a small ownership position in the Bank of Central and South America.[citation needed]

In 1926, MMNB consolidated with the

Chase National Bank.[citation needed] Late that year, the Chase made plans to raze the MMNB main branch building at 20 Nassau Street in order to build a new headquarters for Chase.[5] By March, 1927, the building had been torn down, but its safe proved very difficult to demolish.[6] The blueprints were finalized in June 1927.[7]
