Oh, wow, how did I miss that in my Streetview explorations of the area? I guess I didn't go far enough.
You know, when I was ten or so I saw one of these delivered by Sikorsky Skycrane to a shopping center near my hometown. A local bank bought one to use as a branch, but shut it down after only a few years. It stayed in place for another several years, occasionally housing some manner of business for a while before closing up again, until they got rid of it sometime in the 80s, as I recall. It was terrible to see it decay over the years.
This one, apparently. I only vaguely remember it in Seaside, now that I am reminded.
