One of the anchors of the CENTRAL CITY complex was the San Bernardino-based Harris Company. As the caption on this vintage postcard reads, "the store for all people" was established in 1905. The building depicted here was completed in 1927.

A circa-1959 view of downtown San Bernardino's 3rd Street. The area seen here eventually became the main concourse of CENTRAL CITY MALL. The Andreson Building (with the Bank of America sign) and Harris' store (with the US flag) were retained. The rest of the buildings in the foreground were demolished.
