Pine Avenue looking north from Ocean Boulevard in Long Beach. The California National Bank of Long Beach, or Metropolitan Building, with its clock tower is center, corner of 1st Street and Pine Avenue. A large Buffums' sign is atop a building to the right of the bank. A billboad, right, in front of the Security Trust and Savings Bank building, advertises S&W brand coffee and includes a clock which shows the time as 11:20. A sign below the billboard is for the safety subway under the street. The Metropolitan Building, National Register of Historic Places no. 1990001432, was designed by Los Angeles architects Robert F. Train and Robert E. Williams in 1906. The clock tower with its six-foot-diameter clock face was added in 1907. The structure is in French Renaissance Revival style and utilizes pressed yellow brick on the street sides and common red brick on the remaining two sides.
