Beekman Bank, 110 West California Street, Jacksonville, Jackson County, OR

Significance: In 1862, C.C. Beekman acquired from Lewis and Almira Thompson the building at the northwest corner of California and Third Streets. Beekman was both the local banker and the agent for the Wells Fargo Express Company. On the 1864 map of Jacksonville the corner lot at California and Third Streets is shown as the Wells Fargo Company. The difference in shape and dimensions of the building plans shown on the two maps suggests that Beekman probably erected the present building about 1864 or 1865.
