This building at the corner of 6th and St. Helens Ave., was built by Robert Walker of the Walker Cut Stone Company. He hired the Tacoma architect Roland E. Borhek to design a building that would be completely faced with Wilkeson sandstone. When completed in 1927, it was the first apartment building in the Northwest to be built with a stone exterior. It was placed on both the Tacoma and the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. Photograph ordered by Ward A. Smith, Seattle Trust and Savings Bank. (TDL 11/6/1927, pg 2-3B)
