Looking northeast toward Fresno County Courthouse, built in 1874-1875. First National Bank building on the left and Fresno National Bank building on the right. The first tower in the distance on the left-hand side of the image is the Fiske Block, and the tower behind it is the Temple Bar Building. The first tower in length on the right-hand side of the image is the Fresno Loan and Savings Bank. All significant structures shown in the picture were erected during Fresno’s first major boom, in 1889, save for the Fresno Loan and Savings Bank, which was enlarged from a smaller structure in that year.
