Home Savings & Loan
(Chase Bank)
A large, imposing building, rotated 45 degrees to face the corner, is without a doubt a landmark building. A substantial roof hangs over on all sides. The main entrance is recessed, with dark decorative bricks calling attention to the door. As is the case with all former Home Savings buildings, there is a large mosaic above the door depicting a scene from America’s western expansion. This is without a doubt a nod to Knott's Berry Farm right across the street. (2017)
