first floor hall and the lobby of the
bank are tiled. There is one main
stairway leading to the second floor
facing the ,Wenatchee avenue en-
trance. The stairs leading to the
third floor are divided into two
flights with a broad landing half way
up, surrounded by an artistic railing.
The second floor is divided into Office
rooms, which are arranged in suites,
and the third or top floor is cut up
into rooms for rooming purposes.
In the sub-basement is large heat
ing plant. All the rooms on each
floor are provided with hot and
cold water. while standpiDe run
ming up through the hall and coils o.
hose on the different floors provides
protection against fire.
The first excavation for the build
ing was begun early last July and
the final touches were completed
week ago. with the exception of some
interior finishing in the bank. The
total cost of this magnificent, struc-
ture reaches nearly $4,000. w.
NJ Windham, of Seattle, was the
builder, and, in passing, it might be
pertinent to state that Mr.. Windham
has been so favorably impressed with
Wenatchee that he has invested in
considerable property here and will
locate here permanently. The build
ing is an enlarged and improved re-
sion style, and the wood work is all

The Columbia Valley Bank build
ing, a picture of which is reproduced
herewith, is by far the handsomest
business block in Wenatchee, and
from the standpoint of architectural
elegance would be a credit to town
many times as large as this place.
The building was designed by w. A..
Ritchie, who drew the plans of the
Spokane county courthouse and the
capitol at Olympia, two Of the most
imposing structures in the state. Mr..
Ritchie ranks among the leading ar
chitects of the country, and, in draw
ing the plans for the new home of
the Columbia Valley Bank, he ex-
ercised all his ingenuity in obtaining
grace and symmetry of proportions
consistent with the best possible ar
rangement for commercial purposes.
The building covers ground
space OF 60xS5 feet and is four
stories high, including the basement
floor, the greater part OF which Is
above the sidewalk level. 1t is con-
structed of Tenino sandstone and
white pressed brick. A large part
of both fronts is place glass windows.
The steps leading to the entrances
on both Wenatchee and Orondo ave-
nues are granite. The main entrance,
which is on Wenatchee avenue, is a
handsome arch of Tenino sandstone
with the name plate bearing the
name OF the bank and the date Of its
establishment, 1892. and the date Of
the laying of the corner stone OF the
building, 1905. =

rooming purposes, and all but two
suites have been leased.
3 The banking quarters are deserv-
ing of special mention. The fixtureg
are finished in black wais.~ and
blue and white native marble. The
lobby is tiled, and in the center is a
circular desk for the use of custom
ers. There are two roomy vaults,
one money vault, in which is the

and the other. is for safety deposits.
Both are enclosed with thick, fire.
proof walls and the ceilings are wire
lathed and plastered. The arrange
ment of the bank is planned to afford
the greatest possible convenience to
both the patrons and employees, and
is designed for the easy handling of
not only the present business but the
Increased business that will come
with the growth of the lc~a. The
rooms are thoroughly lighted, which.
by-the-way, is one of the principle
features Of the entire building, for
there is not dark corner ON any of
the floors, either in the Offices or the
halls. In the basement under the
bank are two more bank vaults. ~
The boiler. room is partitioned
from the rest of the building by
brick walls and the ceiling is wire
lathed and plasered, as protection
against the spread of fire. This
same precaution is used in the con-
struction of the principle partitions
on the first floor, which is intended
as an aid in localizing a fire.
