State Bank of Shelton – 203 West
Railroad Avenue
This Commercial Vernacular one-story brick building was
constructed in 1915, replacing a wood frame structure that
was destroyed in the fire that consumed much of the downtown
in 1914. The bank was formed by W.F. White, James Currie,
R.R. Spencer and J.R. McDonald in 1884, the same time as the
Satsop Railroad Company. In 1890 Alfred H. Anderson purchased
both the bank and the railroad. Mark Reed became bank president
in 1911 and was president of the bank at the time the bank
was constructed in 1914. Over the years the bank has changed
owners and uses, to it’s current use as a restaurant.
A loft has been added to the interior for additional eating
area. The building was placed on the Shelton Historic Register
in April of 1995.
