The Farrell Building, also known as the Golden Rule Store, J.C. Penny, the Fashionette and Farrell & Eddy Department Store, is a historic commercial building located at 305 Northeast 4th Avenue in Camas, Washington. The two-story building was completed for Charles Farrell by the local builder John Roffler in 1924 in the early commercial style of architecture. The building replaced a previous 1887 structure which was demolished. The downstairs space was rented to the chain store "The Golden Rule", which later became the "J.C. Penny Company". Rose Farrell, Charles Farrel's widow, and her sister Anna Roffler Eddy moved their "The Fashionette" store in the building in 1935. In 1955, the Farrell Building was closed for modernization in an effort to keep up with other newer department stores. At the time of its closure in 1998, the building and business was under the ownership of a third generation of the Farrell family.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 15, 2006.[1]
