Hickey Apartment Hotel ( Walker Apartments ), interior which appears to be the lobby. Building by Roland Borhek, Architect, 1927. J. Frank Hickey purchased the former Walker Apartments in October of 1938 and changed its name to his own two years later. The elegant apartment hotel had been built for $350,000 by the owner of Walker Cut Stone and was the first apartment house in the Northwest to feature an all-stone exterior. It was sold again in 1944 and the property is now on the City and National Registers.
