HOME BANK OF CALIFORNIA, at the southwest corner of Bayard Street and Garnet Avenue, can meet your financial needs today. But from 1946 to 1976, you would have done business in the sturdy edifice above. It opened as Security Trust & Savings and ended, I believe, as Security Pacific Bank. Check out the classic concrete bus bench. I had been led to believe that the light bulbs were removed from the street lamps on Garnet Avenue after Pearl Harbor for wartime black-out purposes, but I’m not sure why they wouldn’t have been replaced by the time Howard Rozelle took this 1946 photo.
