<br />The ground level podium is divided into three parts: one-story, flat -roofed wings that extend beyond the tower on the north
<br />and south and the set -back, central base of the tower. The roofs of the side wings extend beyond the building to form a
<br />canopy over the sidewalk. A continuous arcade of segmental arches carried on broad piers spans the central section.
<br />Pebble -dash surfaces characterize the arcade, while the first floor of the building, including the side wings, consists almost
<br />entirely of window walls framed by anodized aluminum. Currently (2017), some of these windows are missing. The shallow
<br />courtyard created by the central setback is paved with large squares of cement or terra cotta tiles; some of these appear to
<br />have been replaced. Two young palm trees are planted within the courtyard and are the sole landscaping of the property.
<br />Other than the current construction, the property appears to be in relatively good condition and retains a high degree of
<br />integrity.

<br />The building opened in November 1966. It had already been reported 70 percent occupied in July 1966. Nonetheless, work
<br />on interior partitions continued as various tenants moved into the building or required remodeling. Between January 1967
<br />and August 1988, 22 building permits were issued for interior partitions. Between 1970 and 1993, another 38 permits were
<br />issued for various interior remodel and tenant improvements. The building permit files do not contain records for the period
<br />between 1994 and 2003. The building was partially re -roofed in 2003. There are currently several building permit
<br />applications pending for adaptive reuse.

<br />were made over the years to accommodate a variety of tenants, the exterior of the building, with the exception of the
<br />removal of signage (and the current removal of ground floor windows), has remained remarkably unaltered, as photographs
<br />from 1966 and 2008 attest.
<br />Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as
<br />Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of
<br />Main and Fourth Streets. Early growth was stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1878 and the Santa
<br />Fe Railroad in 1886. Also in 1886, Santa Ana incorporated as a city, and in 1889, the city was selected as the seat of the
<br />newly created County of Orange. The city grew outwards from the core, with residential neighborhoods developing around
<br />the city center and agricultural uses predominating in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with
<br />widely scattered farmhouses.
<br />The Security Bank Building is in the North Main Commercial Corridor, located between the French Park and Willard
<br />neighborhoods in the northwest quadrant of the city. The corridor area is bounded Interstate 5 on the north, the eastern
<br />property lines of Main Street on the east, Civic Center Drive on the south, and Broadway on the west. By the end of the
