Photograph of the exterior view of the Farmers and Merchants National Bank (later Security Pacific National Bank), on the corner of Main Street and Fourth Street, ca.1910-1912.

Cohn & Co., 400, 405, clothing & furnishing", "trustee property no. 3, Union Trust Building", "[...]s Pacific [...]", "power-off", "The Broadway", "caf?quot;, "the restaurant". |
