Yacht in Tower

Long established, conservative, is the Manhattan brokerage house of F. B. Keech & Co., No. 52 Broadway. Newly opened and modernistic, however, is the Brooklyn office of this same concern. Designed by Mrs. H. Lawrence Carpenter, wife of Brooklyn Office Manager H. L. Carpenter, the Keech & Co. suite in the Williamsburg Savings Bank Building tower is fitted up like the interior of a yacht. Thus ships' bells chime out the hours, and sunlight enters not through windows but through portholes. The office has also a special room for women-traders.
