The KJBS Building on Pine Street
  
 In February of 1937, KJBS built these facilities  at 1470 
Pine Street, adjacent to its co-owned Williard Battery Shop.  
The new building had three studios and audio room, two control 
booths plus a master control room.  The transmitter was located on the 
premises, and a new 250 foot self-supporting tower was built at 
the edge of the sidewalk, with the entrance to the station accessed by 
walking between the tower legs.  The top 100 feet of tower were lit 
with red neon lights, visible for miles.   
The station continued to operate from this Pine Street location through the 1970's, 
when this photo was taken, and when the station was known as KFAX.
