Also spaced periodically down the hallway are tables. Each skinny table stands about waist high on a person of average height, and are attached to the floor. Two bins, one for trash, sit by each table. The right wall has two teller windows in between each evenly spaced column façade, with wrought iron designs making the top half of the wall itself. The left wall is much the same, but with no windows, and the occasional door.
