Novato Bank Building

The Novato Bank at 828 Grant Avenue was built in 1913 by property owner Frank Silva and served ranchers, merchants, home builders, and the Novato area. The adjoining section at 826 Grant Avenue first served as a drugstore when it was initially built. The U.S. Post Office occupied the building from 1934 to 1951. After the city was incorporated in 1960, the first city hall was located here until the city moved to the Presbyterian Church on Sherman Avenue in 1963. The Novato Bank business was sold to Central Valley Bank in 1955, and Central Valley Bank later moved operations to 1311 Grant Avenue and is now the Bank of the West. The Silva family still owns the building, which is now used as retail space.
