Designed by Hood River architect R.R. Barely, the "new" First National Bank building was constructed in 1910 by contractors J.M. Wright and L.M. Bentley for a cost of $40,000. The building housed the bank on the first floor and the Commercial Club of Hood River on the second floor. The Commercial Club has a reception area, a billiards room, and an assembly hall which accommodated 300 people.
