Baker Boyer National Bank in Walla Walla, WA -- The exterior of the bank as built in 1911.

The bank originally began in 1867 when Dr. Baker and John Boyer became partners in a successful mercantile business which supplied miners heading for the Idaho and Montana gold rushes. The miners trusted them so much, they'd bring their gold and ask for it to be stored in the store's large safe. No receipts were asked for and no losses were suffered.

In 1869 the mercantile was sold and Baker Boyer National Bank was founded. By 1889 Walla Walla had grown, Washington became the 42nd state in the union, and Baker Boyer received its national charter.

In 1890 a new bank building was erected on the same site as the original. In 1911 the bank needed more space so the present seven-story buildings was created in 1911. For a short time it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi.

During the Great Depression, Baker Boyer was determined to remain open and allowed customers to use the back door of the bank, until the license for reopening arrived.
