Farley Building

The 1895 First Bank of Campbell at 365 East Campbell Avenue, the oldest commercial building in town.

The brick Renaissance Revival bank was built in 1895, when the canneries and growers’ union employed hundreds of workers and the town needed a bank. The bank moved across the street in 1911.

Guy Farley ran his real estate and insurance business here from 1923 to 1966, so locals call it the Farley building.
