Description: Exterior view of the three story San Jose Safe Deposit building.
The San Jose Safe Deposit Bank property originally belonged to the Commercial Savings Bank, founded in 1869. In 1872 they erected this ornate building at the northwest corner of First and Santa Clara Street. In 1883 the property transferred to the San Jose Deposit Bank. In 1925 the Bank of Italy acquired the building and in 1925 they demolished it to build the Bank of Italy Tower.
