Hickey Apartment Hotel, interior. Suite with telephone table, bedroom, and kitchen. Building by Roland Borhek, Architect, 1927. Renamed the Hickey Apartment Hotel in 1940, the eight-story, 68 apartment structure was originally called the Walker Apartments after its builder, Robert Walker of Walker Cut Stone. It was the first apartment house in the Northwest to be faced with stone. The Hickey name (after new owner J. Frank Hickey) did not last and the apartment hotel was sold in 1944. The Walker Apartments are on the City and National Register.
