Overview

The 1st Naitonal Bank of San Francisco traced its origins to 1870. This building, which is partially intact, was erected at this location in 1908.

In 1915, Rudolph Spreckels (1872-1958) served as President of the 1st National Bank of San Francisco. James K. Lynch acted as one Vice-President, and J.K. Moffitt as the other (as well as Cashier). The bank had capital of $3 million in 1915, earning a profit of $1.5 million. (See the Crocker-Langley San Francisco City Directory, 1915, p. 5.)
