The American National Bank was organized in January 1901 by J.T. McChesney and the Rucker Brothers, whose bank it absorbed. In 1903 the bank in conjunction with the Everett Improvement Company commissioned Seattle architects August F. Heide and Emil De Neuf to design this renaissance revival style building with a ground floor clad in Chuckanut sandstone and the rest in Philadelphia pressed brick, and the building was completed by early 1904 at a cost of $110,000. It contained the first elevator in Everett. It was demolished in 1966 for the current bank building on the site. now Bank of America.
