Grand City Bank

On the corner of a busy downtown block stands the most respected address in town, a stately stone bank whose carved facade and clock have watched the neighborhood grow for generations. Behind the grand arched windows sits a marble-floored lobby, a vault full of safe deposit boxes, and a modest laundromat next door that quietly does a brisk trade of its own. It is a building with a public face and a private life, and both are rendered here in remarkable detail.

Every level lifts away for access to the interior. The ground floor holds an atrium lobby with a tiled floor, an ornate chandelier, a teller counter behind security glass, and a lockable vault lined with safe deposit boxes, plus hidden alarm buttons for the staff. Next door, a compact laundromat with a printed window and four washing machines rounds out the street level. Upstairs, two offices are furnished down to the wall clock, typewriter, fireplace and a cabinet with opening drawers. Outside, a carved facade with statue decor, a decorative roofline, a central balcony, a street clock and a sidewalk frame the building, while a roof terrace with a large skylight crowns the whole model. The 5 minifigures, a bank manager, a secretary, a teller, and a parent with their child, bring the lobby to life.
