Then & Now : A community photography exhibit connecting Ketchikan's past to the present through the recreation of historic photos
Title:
Wells Fargo
Description:
"The 'then' photo was taken in the lobby of Miners & Merchants Bank of Ketchikan, which merged with National Bank of Alaska in 1960. Wells Fargo acquired National Bank of Alaska in 2000, marking the return of the 'stagecoach' in Alaska after an 82—year hiatus. The 306 Main Street location was the home of the Wells Fargo Downtown Ketchikan store until May 2013. The 'now' photo was taken in our new downtown location at 409 Dock Street. The staff photo reflects the prominent role that women have taken in the financial services industry." — Tiffany Cook
