Also address integrity.) This branch of Bank of American was constructed in 1972. The Bank of America was the successor bank to Amadeo Peter (“A.P.”) Giannini’s (1870-1949) Bank of Italy, founded in San Francisco in 1904. The Bank of Italy merged with the smaller Bank of America, Los Angeles in the 1928. In the following few years Giannini unified several additional banks under the name of the “Bank of America of California.” Giannini’s banks continued to make loans to both large and small enterprises, notably the young motion-picture industry. His farm mortgage policies also helped the expansion of agriculture in central and northern California. By the end of World War II, Giannini’s bank, now called the Bank of America, had become the largest and richest privately owned bank in the world. As chairman of this entity, Giannini expanded the bank throughout his tenure, which ended with his death in 1949 (Summarized from Dana, Yeates, & Marquis). In the 1950s and 60s, Bank of America further expanded and began a campaign to modernize its branches. An example of this is the San Mateo Branch, constructed in 1968, as a memorial to A. P. Giannini, who had been a long-time resident of that Peninsula town. A.P.’s daughter, Claire Giannini Hoffman, served on the board of the Bank of America and conceived the idea of building a memorial branch for her father. This branch was designed by Wurster, Bernardi & Emmons with colorful mosaic murals depicting the life of Giannini (Summarized from ARG, Bank of America San Mateo Evaluation). The Berkeley Branch of the Bank of America was constructed in 1972 at the corner of Shattuck Ave and Center. It replaced an earlier Bank Building (see continuation sheet for photographs) that had once been Bank of America (labeled such on 1950 Berkeley Sanborn Map) and then subsequently the National Bank of Berkeley.

    SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPT EPISODE SHOW NOTES Episode Title: San Mateo’s Own: Claire Giannini Hoffman Episode # & Date: Episode #26 – April 22, 2020 About this Episode: Judy continues her exploration of one of San Mateo’s most famous and influential natives, Claire Giannini Hoffman, BofA board member, philanthropist, and daughter of the bank’s founder A.P. Giannini. Episode Web Page: https://sanmateofocus.com/claire-giannini-hoffman/ EPISODE TRANSCRIPT I’m Judy Gordon, and this is San Mateo Focus. Claire Giannini Hoffman said that there were just two areas where her father the great American banker, AP Giannini, spoiled her. One was teaching her about fine French champagne and the other involved allowing her to keep the estate home that was so important to her: Seven Oaks in San Mateo. Seven Oaks is owned privately today and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Both Claire and AP Giannini lived at Seven Oaks until their deaths, his in 1949 and hers in 1997. Claire was married to Biff Hoffman, an investment banker, from 1930 until his death in 1954. They did not have children. In her early 70s and while still a member of the Board of Directors at the Bank of America, she sat down for a series of interviews that are transcribed and the property of the Bancroft Library at the University of California. What made these interviews interesting and a bit dramatic is that she requested the manuscript be closed to the public from 1976 until January 1, 2006. Although most of the questions have to do with her father’s, and then later her own, involvement as a Board Member of the Bank of America, they provide a glimpse into life at Seven Oaks in the early part of the 20th century when the house bustled with family and activities.

  • AP Giannini and the Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics
    A.P. GIANNINI AND THE GIANNINI FOUNDATION OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS A.P. Giannini and the Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics he Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics of the University of California was founded in the late 1920s from a $1.5 million gift made by TBancitaly Corporation (later renamed Bank of America) to the University of California in tribute to its founding president and successful businessman, Amadeo Peter Giannini of San Francisco. The endowment has grown to around $20 million today and the annual payout from the endowment supports the broad mission of the Foundation, which is to promote and support research on the economics of Califor­ nia agriculture. As the endowment’s corpus grew over the past seventy-five years, so did the body of research that it has funded. A.P. Giannini’s investment in agricultural economics research continues to generate large returns. In 2005/06 the Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics marked its 75th Anniversary with several events, including an all-day symposium on May 3, 2006, on the Davis campus. This volume contains the edited papers presented at that symposium plus the annals of the Foundation and a rich body of archival material. Today, there are more than seventy members and associate members of the Giannini Foundation. Most of these economists are University of California faculty and Cooperative Extension specialists in agricultural and resource economics on the Berkeley, Davis, and Riverside campuses. The Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics is a unique world-class organization and there is really no other similar economics research group in the world.
