Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Bank of America building, ca.1955. The twelve-story building is located on a street corner at center. It is a rectangular building with large arch-shaped openings on the bottom floor. The top floors can be identified by rows of identical windows. An American flag flies from the roof of the building at center. Many pedestrians are visible as they walk along the sidewalks in front of the building, and automobiles can be seen in the street. At left, a police officer can be seen directing traffic.
