The E.H. Dewey Stores in Nampa, Idaho, is the remnant of an L-shape building that once surrounded the Farmers and Merchants Bank at the corner of 11th Avenue and 1st Street. The L-shape was designed to contain two stores in each wing. The 1-story, stone and brick building was designed by Tourtellotte and Hummel and constructed in 1919, and it reveals a restrained Neoclassical architecture common in commercial buildings of the early 20th century. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[2]

History
The Farmers and Merchants Bank building was constructed in 1919, and a major stockholder and bondholder in the bank was Edward H. Dewey, a Nampa financier with farming and mining interests in Idaho. Dewey served as Nampa mayor 1908-1912. Dewey owned lots adjacent to the corner bank, and in 1919 he developed the property into an L-shape commercial space with four storefronts to surround the bank. Part of the building facing 11th Avenue was later demolished, but frontage on 1st Street remains with little alteration.[2]
The Dewey Building, originally known as the Purdum Building,[3] was a drygoods store and later the location of The Idaho Press-Tribune.[4] After the Nampa Public Library renovated the Farmers and Merchants Bank building in 1966, the adjacent Dewey Building became part of the library in 1985.[5] When the library relocated to its current building, the Dewey Building was refitted for commercial space.[6]
