History

The Bank of Italy building is a two-story brick commercial structure with a second-story window arcade. It was completed in 1919. It cost $35,000[2] to build at the time and is still intact.

Originally, the building was the American Bank of Tracy, founded by Philip Fabian and Abe Grunauer.[3] In 1921, the building was purchased and became a branch of A. P. Giannini's Bank of Italy, and subsequently Bank of America.
