Bucharest National Bank of Romania - Reception Hall (New Wing, 1930s)
The old palace of the National Bank of Romania was erected before
1900. Soon it became clear that an extension was needed behind the old
building.
A new wing was planned in 1937 and it was connected to the old wing.
With the façade on Doamnei Street, the new wing of the NBR Palace was built during World War II, after having laid the foundation stone back in 1937.
The construction works carried on between 1942-44 under the direction of architect Ion Davidescu assisted by two other architects, Radu Dudescu and N. Cretoiu.
The building is emblematic of the neo-classical style with rationalist
influences that prevailed in the inter-bellum period. It impresses by
the monumental granite stairs, the huge Corinthian columns forming the
façade, and the large, white marble-coated halls such as the one
above.

Everything I take a picture of, I try to think of it as a new invention for someone to see. If it comes out perfect it is because I put my heart into it. And if the viewer likes it, it is because his or her heart and emotions accepted it. I luv this photo!

desert sailor: thanks for the invitation.
I tagged as suggested I clicked the icon above, I clicked and clicked and... not much happened - not a very user-friendly group
desert11sailor (55 months ago | reply)
Mmm... dunno what happened there. I clicked on it and it went immediately to Flickrsbest. Since the award is already there, just open the picture, and click on the "send to group" button that should be the second one from the left on top of the image. That should work...
