| This is San Diego in 1884, the
year before the founding of the company. The view is SW from the corner of Seventh
and Ash, just one block north of the last headquarters building. |
|
This building on the NE corner
of Fifth and F Streets was shared by Marston's store and the real estate office of Morse,
Noell, and Whaley at 809 Fifth Street. Here, the first organizational meetings of
San Diego Building & Loan were held early in 1885. The building still stands in
the Gaslamp Quarter. |

San Diego Building & Loan
first did business at a desk in this real estate office at 809 Fifth Avenue. The
individual in the center of the photograph is Theodore Fintzelberg, an early director
whose son became a director in 1953 and still served in 1985 as director emeritus. |

| San Diego Building & Loan's
second location was a couple of blocks from the first, at 759 Sixth Street in the old
"Express Block". |
|
The 53-year old association had
changed its name to San Diego Federal Savings and Loan by 1938, when this picture was
taken of the new office at 1027 Sixth Avenue. |
|
In 1951, San Diego Federal built
its own headquarters building at the SE corner of Sixth & A. This office was
demolished in 1974, upon completion of San Diego Federal's new building. |
