A large punch is packed into a rather small space at the Second Bank of the United States, home to an outstanding collection of portraits from the eighteenth century. Modeled after the famous Parthenon, the building that housed the Second Bank is also a treasure when it comes to architecture. It served as a standard-bearer for numerous bank buildings that followed the Second Bank in America. The Second Bank of the United States holds a collection of portraits that depict several of the women and men who were vital to the development of eighteenth century America, such as Marquis de Lafayette and Alexander Hamilton.
