The Street That Built Bend

OUR HISTORIC LOCATION

Wall Street has been Bend's main thoroughfare since the town's earliest days — named for a lava rock wall that A.M. Drake built in the early 1900s to keep cattle off his property. When the wall came down in 1904 to make way for development, the name stayed. As Bend grew into Central Oregon's commercial and cultural center, Wall Street became home to the city's first hotels, shops, and gathering places.

The corner at 900 Wall has always been at the center of it. In 1919, R.N. "Buck" Buchwalter opened Central Oregon's first full-service sporting goods store here — selling the region's first pair of skis, organizing the first auto trips to the Skeleton Caves and Arnold's Ice Cave, and helping establish the Sky-Liners Ski Club, the forerunner of what is now Mount Bachelor. The business ran until the Great Depression. Decades later, 900 Wall became a beloved Bend restaurant that helped shape the city's dining culture. Now, The Hudson writes the next chapter in this building's story.
