Bank of Italy building in Downtown Visalia was constructed in 1923 at 128 East Main Street. The building has five stories plus a basement. R. F. Felchin, a Fresno-based construction company, provided architectural, engineering, and contracting services. The ground level was designed as a bank, with the remaining space reserved for offices. Later, it became the Bank of America. Today, the ground floor remains a bank, while the upper floors continue to provide office space.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Tulare County, California, on April 1, 1982.[1]
