Weylin had been spending a big amount of his private time meeting with architects throughout the last decade. The work done showed very advanced sketches of a Beaux Arts building, a Neoclassical style studied and practiced in France since the late 1600’s. The plans were kept by the Albany Family and passed along ten generations, until the opportunity showed up when a prepared Charles W. Albany met with George Post. The famed architect had just won a contest to design the first iconic building on the Brooklyn side, a building meant to serve the community with a purpose of growth: a bank for the people of Williamsburg. The wellbeing of the families and a prosperous neighborhood were among Weylin’s happiest wishes; so after Charles proposed presenting the old sketches to the master architect, the consensus was rotund. Every plan was signed and initialed with a monogram that read WBS, standing for Weylin Benjamin Seymour. Out of respect and admiration, the initials later served as a name and a beautiful logotype for the Williamsburg Savings Bank on 175 Broadway, just a few blocks from the river and the bench were little Weylin had spent endless weeks waiting for his father Louis, dreaming and wondering about fate.
With a team made up by the most talented and professional engineers and artists, Mr. Post faced what would become a historic master piece and a Nationwide landmark. The whole building was a design collaboration between the most gifted architects and artists from that period. This construction was ─and still is─ a unique model, a Neoclassical building that is one of a kind in the whole city and country. Constructing it took only 5 years, and in 1875 the place was ready to open its magnificent doors and hold the long awaited launching celebration which happened to go beyond expectations. It seemed as if Weylin had arranged the whole story himself.
