The building was completed in 1918 for the Bank of Italy, that later became the Bank of America. Its chief designer was Charles H. Franklin of the R.F. Felchlin Company.[5] The completely vacant building is the ninth tallest in the city, and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
