Garbe Building – 1908

The original white-brick building was built by John Garbe, the valley’s largest hops dealer, in 1908. Erected for a cost of $19,000, it was constructed with four large entrances with an arch and stairway in the center. The upper floors were built for office and lodging house purposes and were home to the Garbe Hotel until 1923. From 1923–1939, it changed names from the Garbe Hotel to the Columbia Hotel, the Olympia Hotel, and finally to the Crest Apartments.
