Can you watch it soon? -The entrance of the former Murai Bank

Nihonbashi Miyuki Building (1-7-17 Nihonbashi, completed in 1975) in Minamizume, Nihonbashi.
This building is characterized by red tiles covering the entire building, but a massive stone entrance is suddenly set up on the north side of the building opposite the Nihonbashi Nomura Building. I was worried.

…Such a question was solved by looking at the exhibition "History of Decoration-Architecture and Rediscovery of Nihonbashi-" introduced in the previous article.
It seems that this entrance is a reuse of the entrance on the south side of the building of "Murai Bank" (completed in 1913), which was originally built in this place.
It is not possible to enter and see it because it is not a related person, but it is said that pillars and handrails are also reused inside the building. The memories of the old buildings are embedded in the later generations.

If you're going to see the entrance of Murai Bank, you're right now!

I have just solved one such mystery, but there is an informal announcement.…
In the Nihonbashi 1-chome Middle Area, including the Nihonbashi Miyuki Building, an urban redevelopment project is planned to be completed in 2025.

It is a large-scale and symbolic redevelopment project, with a height of 287m and the tallest skyscraper in Chuo-ku being built, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway running over the Nihonbashi River is planned to be underground. However, only the existing buildings in the business area will be renovated and dismantled, including the Nihonbashi Nomura Building Old Building (completed in 1930).

In the area, the long-established futon store Nihonbashi Nishikawa has already moved to Cored Nihonbashi, the neighboring block, and Taimeiken, a famous Western-style restaurant, is temporarily closed (scheduled to resume at a temporary store in Nihonbashi Muromachi next year).
From November 1st, some of the ward roads in the area will not be able to pass, and the demolition of the building will begin within the same month.

It is the entrance of Murai Bank, which was partially preserved during the rebuilding in 1975, but I do not know what fate it will follow with the rebuilding in 2025.
It is highly likely that you will be overlooked in October to November this year, so if you keep it in your memory, it is now!
