Washington Farmers Coop (unknown)

Jan 1944: Washington Co-op Egg and Poultry Assn. at 2901 State, phone # Main 413. Washington Cooperative Hatcheries is listed at 3301 Hewitt, phone # Main 895. Oct 1947: Washington Cooperative Farmers Assn, phone Main 413 (CEdar 1171 in 1951). Wash. Coop Hatcheries still at 3301 Hewitt, phone BAyview 2293. So the coop's name changed between 1944 and 1947. Washington Coop Farmers Assn. became Western Farmers Assn. which is now part of Cenex. In the current Snohomish County phone book Cenex/Coop Supply it is listed at Hewitt and State.

Deifenbacher Building (1903)

Architect: A.F. Heide. On the National Register of Historic Places.

John Deifenbacher was a successful saloon keeper in Riverside when he commissioned Heide to design this handsome two story structure. Just east of Heide's 1892 Swalwell building, this is a late Romanesque building. He lived in a grand house on Everett Ave. Deifenbacher (1861-1935) was born in Germany in June 1861 and arrived in America in 1880. He was the co-proprietor of Andrae & Deifenbacher's Saloon, then later owned his own Union Saloon. He died December 18, 1935, and is interred in the family plot in Evergreen Cemetery.

In Riverside Remembers, Phyllis Adkins Royce (born 1916) recalls stories of growing up in the hotel on the second floor. The Columbia Hotel, Rachel Jackson manager, rented only to single men, mostly Greek. There were many prostitutes across street, and her mother Rachel would not rent to any women. They rented some of the 20 rooms, while the family used several for their 10 kids. Leased hotel from Diefenbacher for $125/mo. Rent was $15 per room. Downstairs was Glassberg's Jewelry Store and Webber's Shoe Store, and Deidrich's Stove Works.

Bank of Everett (1892)

Frederick Sexton designed one of the first brick buildings in Everett in 1892 for $15,000. Unfortunately, the business failed in the Silver Panic of 1893. This building was heavily remodelled in the 1940s. It's now occupied by Terracotta Red.

Anderson's Grocery (1910)

Originally built for investor M.J. Moffatt, it started as the Riverside Wallpaper Company. About 1915, H.

Shuh's Hewitt Avenue Grocery store was there about 1940, then Anderson's Grocery before the end of WWII. In 1989 it was still a grocery store with the 40s look intact.

J.J. Hill Park (1977)

James J. Hill, known as the "Empire Builder", was in charge of the Great Northern Railroad from the Midwest to the Pacific Coast. Hill bought up much of the Rockefeller holdings in Everett after the Panic of 1893. Originally, the railroad went around the peninsula, but to save time a tunnel was dug under downtown in 1910.
