The Central National Bank Building is a sixteenth story (15 story and a mezzanine) steel-frame and reinforced concrete Beaux Arts skyscraper, rectangular in plan, on a southwest facing corner lot. It was designed for a bank in its base and mezzanine levels, with offices above. Central Building’s rich heritage and enduring presence. The juxtaposition of the ornate Blackletter ‘C’ with sleek serif and sans-serif fonts creates a visual narrative that spans from the building’s establishment to its present-day significance. This design evokes the prestige, positioning the Central Building as a timeless icon in Oakland’s architectural landscape.
