Bio notes | An offshoot of the Society for the Prevention of Pauperism, the New York Savings Bank was another philanthropic project operating along the lines of the Friends’ self-help ethic. Friends shared leadership with prominent non-Quaker business associates. Originally chartered as the Rose Hill Savings Bank at the corner of 14th Street and Eighth Avenue in 1854, in 1862 changed its name to “New York Savings Bank.” |
