Post-consolidation, work on the New York City Subway's first line began in 1900, and the City Hall and Brooklyn Bridge stations opened in 1904. The Emigrant Savings Bank, a bank for Irish immigrants established at 51 Chambers Street in 1850, built the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank Building on the site of their old headquarters between 1909 and 1912. Immediately to the east, the Surrogate's Courthouse, originally called the Hall of Records, was built between 1899 and 1907. The 40-story Municipal Building, at the intersection of Centre and Chambers Streets, was completed in 1914 and has a gilded "Civic Fame" statue on top of the tower.
