The Mount Morris Bank Building, also referred to as the Corn Exchange Bank (Mount Morris Branch)[5] and Corn Exchange Building,[6] is an historic building in the East Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, located at 81-85 East 125th Street on the northwest corner of Park Avenue. Although an architectural standout when new in 1883, by the late 1970s it was vacant, and remained so for three decades, vandalized and deteriorating. In 2009 the city demolished, for safety, most of what remained after a 1997 fire, but in 2012 a developer undertook to rebuild it for commercial occupancy, and the building reopened in May 2015.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989,[1] and was designated a New York City Landmark in 1993.[2]
