Old Rothschild Bank Building Still Stands in City

The historic house, once the firm’s top offices, was empty after Baron Wilhelm Rothschild’s death in 1901 and later donated to the city. Its conserved rooms include twin desks and a grand conference chamber, while a decorative iron safe hides a locked secret and an eight-letter combination.
