National Bank of Whittier Building is a historic building in downtown Whittier, California. Built in 1923 by John and David Parkinson in the Renaissance style, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The current building is the best remaining example of Beaux Arts style in the City. The building is of national significance as it was the site of Richard M. Nixon's first law office. Whittier was Nixon's boyhood home from the age of nine. In 1938 he served as the Deputy City Attorney to the City of Whittier. A replica of President Nixon's office has been re-created and is available to tour at the Whittier Historical Museum.
