More About One Hanson Place

Whether you’re riding the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N Q, or R subway train into Brooklyn, when you get off at that Atlantic Avenue station and exit the front of the building you’ll be starring at one thing: One Hanson Place, the home of your NY Orthodontist and the office of Dr. Yakov Eisenberger.

“The Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower” is currently the second tallest building in Brooklyn, New York, and one of the most recognizable landmarks in the borough. It rises up 37 stories to a little over 500 feet tall. At the point of its completion in 1927 it was the tallest building on Long Island, and is currently the Islands third tallest building.

At one point in its history, the New York Daily News called the Tower “The Mecca of Dentistry” because of the notably high number of dentists and NY orthodontists offices located inside.

The building internally has a magnificent gilded copper dome which features carved lions, turtles, and birds, as well as a marble banking hall on the ground floor that contains 63-foot vaulted ceilings, 40-foot windows and a plethora of elaborate mosaics.

There are also two old abandoned public observation decks that tell the story of the Battle of Brooklyn.
