Bank of Italy, Bank building in Downtown Visalia, California, US

The Bank of Italy building at 128 East Main Street in Downtown Visalia is a five-story structure plus a basement, built in 1923. Fresno-based R. F. Felchin provided the architectural, engineering and contracting work. The ground level was designed as a bank, with the remaining floors reserved for offices.

The Bank of Italy building was constructed in 1923 at 128 East Main Street in Downtown Visalia. R. F. Felchin, a Fresno-based construction company, provided architectural, engineering, and contracting services. The ground level was designed as a bank, with the remaining space reserved for offices. It later became the Bank of America and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 1, 1982.

The ground floor has operated as a bank since 1923, first as the Bank of Italy and later as Bank of America, while the upper four floors were reserved for offices from the start. The building's name recalls the Italian-American bank founded in San Francisco that expanded across California in the early 1920s.

The building stands at 128 East Main Street in Downtown Visalia, on the ground floor of a five-story structure whose upper floors are offices. Visitors can view the 1923 facade from the sidewalk along Main Street; the ground floor still operates as a bank, so interior access follows banking hours and business use.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 1, 1982, an entry in Tulare County. The nomination rests on its 1923 construction and its role as a downtown Visalia bank and office block, not on height or later reuse.
