First National Bank Postcard
Ventura--Buildings--Banks--First National
A three-story yellow building on a street corner. The entrance is rounded and directly at the corner. A sculpted sign above the door says 'BANK', and on that corner of the third floor is a plaque declaring '1899'. On the left side of the building, the first floor windows are rectangular, and the second floor windows are rounded at the top to accomodate arches extending up from the building's foundation. People stand outside the entrance to the bank. Parked along the street are two motorcars and a horse and buggy. A couple sits in one of the cars. On top of the bank is an American flag.
