This 75' x 100' building was built by B.F. Renn for use as commercial space on the first floor while the second floor housed the Elks Lodge for a few years. It had classical arched double-hung one-over-one windows with two crests at the parapet level. In 1905, J.J. Hamley moved to Pendleton and bought the building and opened his saddle and tack store. He remained in charge of the company until his death in 1939. Sons, Lester and John and grandson David kept the business going for many years. Hamley's made and sold cowboy clothing and gear and was a major employer and manufacturing concern in Pendleton. Producing some of the finest saddles in the West, Hamley and Company was operated by the Hamley family until 1980 when they sold their remaining interest and name. The building is now under new owners who have renovated the old building and restored luster to the business, carrying on the Hamley name and tradition that has existed in this location of over 100 years.
