Sometime between July 1930 and Feb 1933 it became (rough times for banking!) Pacific States Savings, and was up through 1937. Then by 1948 it was the Subway Terminal branch of Citizen’s National. I didn’t find any good photos of it with their signage.

Those are exactly the pictures I couldn't find,
Noircitydame. I tried searching for the National Bank of Commerce, but only found pictures like the one below where I couldn't see the entrance.

I also found this picture where the structure seems to be called the Pacific Commerce Building.

Before their offices at 439 S Hill were built, Peoples National Bank had a branch on the right of the Subway Terminal Building.
