The assessor dates the building to 1975, after this photograph was taken. The city's Japantown context statement gives the JACL's national headquarters here and also calls 1761-65 Post Street the site of that headquarters. It does not reconcile the two. Not yet documented: the architect and builder, the early tenants and the date of the last recorded sale. Submit an update
