Thx. I guess I just never focused on it before. Considering the footprint, I'm amazed it lasted as long as it did. I also got fooled by the plain back, so different from the other sides.
In the film it looks like it's sited in the center of Temple.
See? Where the heck is Temple? An illusion, I know, but it looks like the Bank of Italy totally fills in the space between City Hall & the Federal Courthouse:
