Modern-day
The Farmers & Merchants Bank building has been established as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #271.
Much of the original banking room remains, including light fixtures, a central skylight, and the loggia with its Victorian-style railings. Operating as a bank until its closure in the late 80s, the building now functions primarily as a special events and banquet facility, and film location. The building is slated for renovation by developer Tom Gilmore and Associates.
