Weylin

175 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211

Weylin is the site of the iconic Williamsburgh Savings Bank, built by renowned architect George B. Post and interiors designed by Peter B. Wight in 1875.  Its architecture and interior, along with the collaborative story of its rise to fame, became the face of the American Renaissance, serving as a focal point for an entire generation of Beaux-Arts structures in the United States.

The focus of the venue is Wight’s elaborate polychromed 110-foot cast iron dome. Resting on enormous stone arches, the dome encloses oval windows, which allow natural sunlight to flood the space. The vaulted ceiling of the dome features a mural of spear-shaped rays extending out from a central azure cap, which remain the only surviving mural decoration by Wight.

Following an award winning restoration in 2013, Weylin was born. It’s named after a legendary character of 19th century Williamsburg. Weylin B. Seymour was a well-loved socialite, party host and fruitful matchmaker. Serendipitously, he shared initials with the Williamsburgh Savings Bank, thus sealing his fate as the beloved namesake.
