Fresno Pacific Towers, originally the Pacific Southwest Building and later known as the Security Bank Building is a 15-story, high-rise completed in 1925 in downtown Fresno, California. With the tower's antenna rising to , original construction took eighteen months and cost US$1.2 million for the headquarters for the Fidelity Branch of the Pacific-Southwest Trust and Savings Bank. Originally, a beacon on top of the tower served as a frost warning to farmers within a 30 mile radius. Fresno banker William Sutherland was instrumental in the planning and construction of the building. In 1925, the Pacific Southwest Trust and Savings Bank, with Sutherland as its president, moved its offices there.〔"Fresno's Finest Skyscraper Is Now Complete," The Fresno Morning Republican, January 19, 1925.〕 The mostly-vacant building stood as the tallest in the city 80 years until the Robert E. Coyle United States Courthouse was completed in 2005. The building is currently owned by Beverly Hills-based developers, Sevak, and brother Serko Khatchadourian. The top floors of the building have been converted into apartments. ==References==
