Northwest Bank - The Barbur Block

One of the oldest standing commercial structures in Southeast Portland, the Barber Block was built in 1890 by Edward Holman for his father-in-law, Henry Barber. Henry Barber was a leading Oregon pioneer and business man.

The usage of the Barber Block has changed over the years from a banking house, a nickelodeon theater, several restaurants, a laundry, a furniture store, a hardware store and back to banking with the opening of Northwest Bank's second location on November 16th, 2007. The Barber Block was the recipient of the City's first Urban Conservation Fund loan. Restoration of the building has pioneered the creation of cooperative financing opportunities for historic preservation.

Northwest Bank hopes to preserve the historical heritage and unique Victorian-Italianate architecture, while at the same time bring a much needed community bank to the Central Eastside Business District.
