Completed in 1914, the Temecula bank was locally owned and known as the "Pawn Shop" by its
rancher directors. The bank was robbed on August 13th, 1930. The robber was promptly captured by townspeople and the loot was recovered in full. The bank's doors remained open during the depression and was eventually closed in 1941. For many years the second floor served as the community center and dance hall. — Map (db m26202) |
