English: As seen in July 2021, this view from the northwest corner of Lincoln Park in downtown Olean, New York is centered on the roundabout at the intersection of State and Union Streets. In the background at left is seen the Park Centre Tower, the tallest office building in the city at a height of seven stories. Otherwise known as the Manufacturers Hanover Building or the First National Bank of Olean, the building was erected in 1913 to a design by Mowbray & Uffinger (a New York-based firm most famous for designing bank buildings), represents a late-period example of the Chicago School of architecture, and sports a handsome façade whose rusticated granite base (featuring corner quines and pilaster strips as well as an intact original entrance of copper and brass double doors, framed by fluted engaged Doric columns and a Classical pediment) contrasts with a plainer exterior of brown brick on the upper five floors, with simpler ornamentation consisting of swag reliefs in the spandrel panels on the side columns of the windows on the side elevation, as well as stylized shields interspersed between the windows on the upper story. The two layers of the building are separated by a granite frieze adorned with Greek Revival-inspired triglyphs and topped consecutively with a dentil row, a cornice, and a decorative wrought-iron balconet, and a another dentillated cornice features at the building's roofline, additionally undergirded by modillions and topped with a parapet. The First National Bank of Olean was founded in 1870 and continued operating their headquarters in the building until 1972, when they were acquired by Manufacturers Hanover Corporation of New York. The building has been vacant since the closure of their Olean operations in the mid-1990s but is currently undergoing rehabilitation by the Buffalo-based developer Savarino Companies. It's a contributing property to the NRHP-listed Union and State Streets Historic District. In the foreground is the monument popularly known as the Silent Policeman. An eight-foot marble pillar erected by the local Rotary Club, its decorative scheme of wayfinding arrows labeled with local and regional place names symbolizes Olean's central location within Western New York. The present Silent Policeman dates to 2020, a replacement for the original that was dedicated in July 1921.
