The First National Bank Building, Long Beach

The First National Bank building (also known as the Metropolitan Building and the Enloe Building) in Long Beach is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The current building, designed by Los Angeles architects Robert F. Train and Robert E. Williams, was built in 1906. The structure was designed in a French Renaissance Revival style utilizing pressed yellow brick on the street sides and common red brick on the remaining two sides. The distinctive clock tower with its six-foot-diameter clock face was added in 1907.

During the 1950s, many of the original decorative elements such as the decorative cornice were removed or covered as part of modernizations efforts. The building was restored to its original look in the 1980s thanks to the federal tax incentives.
