After Prohibition was repealed in 1933 and liquor was again available, an attempt was made to revive its entertainment scene. Restaurateur and capitalist, Pierino Gavello, initiated Pacific Street's third transformation and was responsible for starting the enterprise to redevelop the block between Montgomery and Kearney streets back into an entertainment district. The buildings were stream-lined with stucco facades and gleaming windows, and the block was renamed as "International Settlement" in an attempt to attract the servicemen of World War II. To further revitalize its entertainment business, two pairs of towers were constructed, on either end of that Pacific Avenue block, and those towers would support two large signs overhead which read: "International Settlement". A number of African American jazz bands played at these night spots, and continued Pacific Street's involvement with America's jazz scene.
