That picture is of Provident Life & Trust Co building but it misses adjoining Provident Office Building (also by Furness) that had already been torn down in 1945:

If you notice, when the Office building was demolished, they also chopped off the "dunce cap" roof on Life & Trust building. It was located on the northwest corner of 4th & Chestnut Streets as part of "Banker's Row". It it the current location of Azalea Restaurant.
