Inscription. The Bank Block in Heber City, Utah, holds a rich and storied history as the site of Heber Valley's first bank. Built in 1904 by Abram Hatch, a local merchant, the structure was crafted from red sandstone quarried at Lake Creek. The Bank of Heber City served as the main lending institution in Wasatch County until it succumbed to the Great Depression. The Bank Block has undergone multiple renovations, preserving its legacy while adapting to modern needs. During a renovation in 2000, builders discovered old bank records hidden within the walls, adding to its historical intrigue. The original bank vault door remains on display inside, serving as a tangible connection to its early days.

Erected by Heber City.
