The Bank of Italy in Tracy, California, also known as the Old Bank of America Building, the American Bank of Tracy, and the Kagehiro Building, is a historic bank building completed in 1919. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
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.
