1924
—City of Hood River Downtown Historic District —
Leslie and Truman Butler commissioned well-known Portland architect A.E. Doyle to design a bank of the Butler Banking Company, the business they founded in 1900. The Egyptian style building was completed in September 1924, and the grand opening attracted over 2,000 valley residents. The $75,000 structure was decorated with massive fluted two-story columns, Wilkinson sandstone facing and winged finials on the cornice. The bank closed it doors due to the Great Depression in 1932. The building was later used as the Hood River County Courthouse. The Butler Bank was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.| HM Number | HM24DD |
