Title supplied by cataloger. The Security Trust and Savings Bank building, known as the Security Pacific National Bank Building, is Long Beach Historic Landmark no. 16.52.470. Built between 1923 and 1925, it was designed by architects Curlett and Beelman and is a classic Beaux Arts building. Divided into three parts of base, midsection, and attic, it is faced in contrasting light marble and dark red brick and crowned with a classical cornice. The three-story base has a recessed entryway behind giant Corinthian columns. The ornament is classically derived. Construction flourishes in this view of Pine Avenue in Long beach looking north from the foot of the pier. The building on the right later became the State Theater building. Scaffolding is on the Security Trust and Savings Bank building behind the State Theatre. Another multi-story building is under construction, left, next to the Hotel Schuyler. Pedestrians stroll on the pier as trucks are unloaded at its foot. Awnings hang over the many businesses lining the sidewalk.
