Point 22: Farmer’s Bank (Land Title Building), 5th Avenue and N Pearl Street, 1911

F. R. Spangler, a young local architect, designed this building and personally oversaw its construction. Spangler also designed the Ellensburg YMCA in 1911. The Farmer’s Bank was the first fully Neo-Classical building in Ellensburg. The building is constructed of brick faced with Tenino sandstone featuring decorative elements representing sheaves of wheat and medieval gargoyles. Farmer’s Bank later became the National Bank of Ellensburg. In 1967 the Kittitas County Land Title Company remodeled the interior for office use.
