I grew up in PC many fond memories there. Today it's trashy and can't read the signs. A big (bad) change from the early 60's when it was clean and really nice. In later years, this bldg was our bank, maybe Wells Fargo? It would be a shame to have it levelled, and put in a taco stand,or cellphone store, what a waste. We will remember the memories forever of the way it used to be. I do have some photos of this building, along with others of Panorama in the 'good old days'.

The interior is just at amazing as the exterior with a spiral stainless-steel railing staircase leading to the mezzanine that features custom light fixtures and wood sound/light baffles. The safe on the ground floor is now a wonderful showcase for a sofa/loveseat in plaid. Although the building has been modified quite a bit, it is still salvageable architecturally. Don't let this one get away! I stumbled across this astounding building today, now occupied by a low-end furniture retailer.

Here's a brief Wikipedia article about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenceslaus_Sarmiento . This sounds like a great story for Huell Howser. Sarmiento is the proper spelling.
