Bank of Italy building

view map

The prominent dark building in the center of the picture.

Built in 1925-26, it was San Jose's first skyscraper building.

It was the second home of the first San Jose branch of the Bank of Italy, later Bank of America.
The first branch outside of San Francisco.

Currently, it is being converted for residential use.
Shot from San Jose City Hall.

Shot with 18 year old roll of Fujifilm X-TRA Superia 400 film.
Shot at iso 100.
Converted to B&W as the colors did not hold up very well.

Canon Demi ,Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400
1/90s f/8.0 at 28.0mm (40mm FF) iso400 full exif
