It is also seen as a contribution to Oak Park's commercial and economic development after the area became Sacramento's first modern suburb and was annexed in 1911. It is described as the only significant example of its type in Oak Park.","narrative":"Built in 1914 at 3418 Broadway, this one-story triangular bank served the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento. It is made of reinforced concrete and cement plaster, with a steel-framed roof and wooden columns. A rounded corner portico with two fluted Ionic columns marks the entrance, and medallions above the arch record the bank's 1867 founding and the 1914 construction date. Neo-classical details include a Doric frieze and a projecting cornice. A copper dome once crowned the portico but was removed in 1947 by the Bank of America, which also extended the rear and renovated the interior. The building matters as a well-detailed early twentieth century bank, designed in an era that favored classical forms as symbols of permanence. It also reflects Oak Park's rapid growth as a self-sufficient suburb annexed to Sacramento in 1911. The bank operated under several owners until 1960, and the form lists the property as vacant.","period_of_significance":"1914","architect_builder":"Gideon Holt/James Seadler","architectural_style":"Neo-classical","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as unoccupied and vacant; the form says the owner hopes to restore it closer to its original appearance.
