"In 1902 the Bank of Richmond occupied the main floor. The upstairs offices housed the first phone exchange. Richmond's first newspaper "The Point Richmond Record" was published bt Lyman Naugle in the basement. In 1910 the building was remolded and the bank floor was lowered to street level. Coroner Dr. CL. Abbot opened his emergency hospital upstairs in 1914. In 1922 the upstairs was converted to lodging and called The Bank Hotel. In the early 1940s it was named the Bank Club Billiards. From 1986-2001 the main floor was Bob and Sherry's Variety Store. Their family residence was upstairs. In 2003 Mark Bowe restored the building."
