Scandinavian-American Bank

Plaque text:

For over two decades the Ballard branch of the Scandinavian-American Bank operated out of this Second Empire Baroque structure, which was built in 1902. Originally incorporated in 1892, the bank's main branch was located in Seattle and boasted of a total capital listed of $75,000. This 1925 photograph shows the Canal Bank, which succeeded the Scandinavian-American Bank which it closed amid scandal in the early 1920s.
