Archiving Angeles (AA): Citizens National Bank

On payday, you rode the streetcar to Citizens National Bank at Third and Main. Maybe you spent that hard-earned money upstairs, on a $15 overcoat at Foreman & Clark. Maybe you didn’t.

The year was 1913.

Is this thing still there? It looks very familiar. I guess it was built by the same guy who did the Alexandria.

This was torn down for the new State Building – which later became the Ronald Reagan Building – as part of the effort to clean up Main and Spring Streets by tearing down all their historic buildings during the Bradley administration.

But Citizens National Bank had already long moved into its new home – right across from the Alexandria Hotel – at 5th and Spring in 1915 (two years after this photo was taken) and that building is now the Spring Arts Tower. Citizens later became Crocker which later became Well-Fargo.

And both the Alex and 5th and Spring building were designed by Parkinson and I am 95% certain so was this one, but will need to check on that.
