“Barclays Bank of New York — 1977”
The exact project or site has not yet been identified.
Barclays expanded at 300 Park Avenue just before Rita's 1977 date: surviving Uris records document additional ground-floor and basement space plus lease modifications and floor plans. That makes this less a vague bank name than a promising paper trail into a specific Midtown fit-out.
