The building broke ground in March 1910 and was completed a mere eight months later, opening its doors to the public in January 1911.

These happenings made the building, and the bank, worthy of the city of Spokane and the patrons who financed its construction, who gained valuable profit and recognition.

To enhance the contrast between the white Terra Cotta and the fenestration, the wood window frames were painted a forest green.

Granite ionic columns hold up the clerestory space being connected by service stations and tellers all facing the open lobby for ease of access by the people.

The office tower entrance opens up immediately to the elevator lobby, servicing the other floors of the bank and the tenants in the rented spaces above.

The facilities were state of the art and served Spokane with the highest quality equipment at the time, providing banking in the northwest with the maximum convenience it could.

The ceiling of the lobby was lowered, allowing for the first two floors of the bank to be pancaked on top of each other; the granite ionic columns were also stripped.
