City Bank Farmers Trust Building

When the plans for this building were drawn up in 1929, it was to be the tallest building in the world, but with the onset of the Great Depression, the plans had to be scaled back. It stands today, just blocks from the New York Stock Exchange, at 741 feet with 57 stories.

  Inside Man
  Directed by: Spike Lee
  Starring: Clive Owen, Denzel Washington
  Detective Keith Frazier (Washington) knew that something was wrong about the bank robbery of the Manhattan Bank that Dalton Russell (Owen) was executing here at 20 Exchange Place, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it in Spike Lee's Inside Man. The Entrance used in the film is located on the East side of the building near the corner of Beaver and Hanover.
