Photographs of
the Dexter Horton National Bank in Seattle, Washington.
John Graham, Sr., prominent Pacific Northwest
architect, designed the Dexter Horton Building during 1922-1924. Graham was
well known for his design of many government, education, church, and retail
buildings as well as his involvement in the architecture communities of
Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington. Records in the John Graham, Sr.,
Architect file indicate a payment of $600,000 for the building. The Dexter
Horton National Bank portion of the building later became the First National
Bank and eventually transitioned into municipal government offices. Graham's
son, John Graham, Jr., designed Seattle's Space Needle, among many other
buildings and complexes.
This photograph collection documents the interior and exterior of the
Dexter Horton National Bank located in the Dexter Horton Building on 2nd Avenue
and Cherry in downtown Seattle, Washington. Six black and white photographs are
assembled in an album, which also contains some newspaper clippings regarding
the First National Bank. The collection also includes 10 loose photographs. All
of the photographs appear to have been taken at the same time.
