The photo of the San Diego, California street  on Page 21 is of Eighth Avenue, just north of "B" Street, looking in a southerly direction from A Street. The two large buildings in the background are landmarks.

The grey building with the terra cotta roof is the Bank of America building, which is located on the south side Broadway, bounded by Seventh Avenue on the west, and Eighth Avenue on the east. Built in 1926, it was originally the Bank of Italy Building.  The Giannini family, founders of the Bank of Italy, acquired the much smaller Bank of America by merger in 1928, and all Bank of Italy branches became Bank of America branches in 1930. 

The tan-coloured building with the cupola in the background to the right is the San Diego Trust & Savings Bank.  It is located on the northwest corner of Broadway and Sixth Avenue. It was designed by noted San Diego architect William Templeton Johnson, and built in 1928.  Notwithstanding extensive redevelopment in San Diego's downtown, both buildings are still standing today.
