New Design Walla Walla Buildings From The 1960s.


 From a popular 60s design, First Federal Savings And Loan built this brand-new building in 1965.  I remember them giving away yardsticks to celebrate the grand opening.  I remember my First Federal bankbook which was needed to make a deposit or withdrawal.  
First Federal is now known Banner Bank.

In the same idea, Jackson Motors built a new showroom in 1968 near our family business, once again, architecture that seemed modern at the time.

Both designs seen passe now.  I found these in Joe Drazan's Bygone Walla Walla page.

Great post Mike. This brings back memories of the Jetsons cartoon.
