Scope and content
In June of 1953, the recently renamed "Security Building," 917 Pacific Ave., was photographed showing ground-floor tenants Comfort, Davis, & Blangy, Inc. and Forrester, Inc., both real estate and insurance firms. The Geo. D. Barclay Co. was in the smaller brick building to the immediate left of Comfort, Davis & Blangy. The six-story building, previously known as the Provident Building, was built in 1903 by Henry Longstreth, designed by architect George W. Bullard and was home to many downtown businesses. In 2006, it was once again renamed the Provident Building. Photograph ordered by Harry Blangy.
