Exterior Security Building. The venerable Provident Building at 9th & Pacific was renamed the Security Building in 1952. It was designed by architect George W. Bullard and originally built in 1903 by Henry Longstreth. The multi-floored Security Building in 1955 had a variety of occupants, including tailors, realtors, service organizations, physicians, insurance companies and even a detective agency run by former police chief Jack Elich. Businesses nearby included Archie's Coffee Cup, Smoke Shop tavern, and Lavik Travel Bureau. Photograph ordered by Comfort, Davis & Blangy.
