Sold – Under $100K Sunday – Circa 1905 Washington State Bank For Sale Under $70K
OHU50K Notes $69,500 Sold for $55,000
Built in 1905, this corner bank for sale serviced its small Washington state town for decades before shutting its doors for good in 2011. The safe is still intact, and I saw a demo video recently that stated these safes are worth $10,000 or more.

Town History
Per UNF, “In 1881, a group of Volga German families from Rush and Barton Counties in Kansas decided to move to the Pacific Northwest. They took advantage of reduced fares on the Union Pacific and took a train to San Francisco where steamers of the Oregon Steamship Company transported them to Portland. After spending a year working in the Portland area, most of these families decided to move to Eastern Washington, and in September 1882 left Portland by covered wagon for Walla Walla. From there they headed north into the Palouse Country arriving in Whitman County four miles east of Endicott on 12 October 1882.
Endicott had been platted in 1882 and named for William Endicott Jr. of the Oregon Improvement Company. It was officially incorporated on 11 February 1905.”
Bank History
The bank building was built in 1905, the same year that the town of incorporated. It was the only bank in town and went by a few names before a group of famers and businessmen started the Bank of Whitman in 1977. In 2011, the Bank of Whitman was the third bank in the state to be closed by state regulators that year. Bad loans far exceeded its capital.
