Overview

The short-lived Mackintosh and Reeves Banking House operated in Seattle, WA, between c. 1879 and 1883.

Building History

Angus Mackintosh, born in Canada, lived in various American locations including Philadelphia, PA, Washington, DC, and MI, before resettling in Seattle by about 1870. He first established an abstracting and title company and also sold real estate. He took on a partner, W.H. Reeves, in 1877. In 1879, Mackintosh and Reeves opened a bank, that operated at the corner of Commercial and Mill Streets in 1882. (See Margaret Pitcairn Strachan, “Early-Day Mansions, No. 26—A. Mackintosh,” Seattle Times, 02/25/1945, p. 2, Seattle, Washington, City Directory, 1879, p. 57 and 63 and Seattle, Washington, City Directory, 1882, p. 44.)

This Mackintosh and Reeves Bank was the forerunner of the Merchants' National Bank, that existed in Seattle between 1883 until its failure in 1895.
