The Spokane Club Building by VisitWa

Like many of Spokane’s historic landmarks in the downtown core, the Spokane Club was built from the ashes of the Great Fire of 1889. In February of 1890, 20 prominent leaders founded the Spokane Club, modelled after historic gentleman’s clubs of England. Each of the men invested $500. In December of 1911, the clubhouse was dedicated and its opening was celebrated into the early morning hours at a gala attended by over 700 members and their guests. Later that same year, President Theodore Roosevelt would formally dedicate the Spokane Club. The Spokane Club building is considered one of the great architectural achievements of Kirtland Cutter, who also designed the Davenport Hotel. His name was synonymous with the Age of Elegance in Spokane. The building is an example of Georgian Revival architecture. Posted by Nadine S., Spokane’s Homegrown Tourist

The Call and the Challenge – Sculpture by VisitWa

The Call and the Challenge was erected by Ken Spiering in 1986 to commemorate Sacred Heart Medical Center's 100th year anniversary. The piece depicts Mother Joseph, a Sister of Providence, laying bricks. The artist, Ken Spiering, was born in Wyoming in 1950 and is a graduate from Gonzaga University. In 1856 Mother Joseph successfully led multiple missionaries to the Pacific Northwest Territories of the United States. She was instrumental in establishing 11 hospitals, five schools for Native American children, and two orphanages for children from all backgrounds. The model for the bronze man pushing the wheelbarrow is Harold Balazs, the artist behind some of Spokane's most remarkable sculptures. Spiering and his good friend collaborated on this project, Spiering the artist, while Balazs is the unexpected model. Posted by Nadine S., Spokane’s Homegrown Tourist

The Masonic Temple by VisitWa

The Masonic Temple , completed in 1905, has been occupied by the Masonic order and several affiliated fraternal groups. In recent years the nonprofit Masonic Temple Association of Spokane rented its various ballrooms and meeting places to area groups and schools for events, proms and other celebrations. In 2013 Greg Newell, an Australian businessman, paid $1.1 million for the stately building. President Teddy Roosevelt helped break ground for the project. Architects Loren Rand and John K. Dow worked together on the Neoclassical Revival building, which was added onto an original Craftsman building. Some of the Craftsman touches are still seen inside. It shows the disciplined classicism tracing back to the Beaux Arts movement. The building is on local and national Registers of Historic Places Posted by Nadine S., Spokane’s Homegrown Tourist

Monaghan Statue - part of Heritage Walk by VisitWa

In the fall of 1906, a crowd of 10,000 gathered to witness the unveiling of the Monaghan Monument at Riverside and Monroe in Spokane. It was commissioned to honor John R. Monaghan, local hero of the hostilities of 1899 on the Samoan Islands. The inscription reads: "During the retreat of the allied forces from the deadly fire and overwhelming number of the savage foe, he alone stood the fearful onslaught and sacrificed his life defending a wounded comrade Lieutenant Philip V. Lansdale United States Navy. Born in Chewelah, Washington in 1873, Robert John Monaghan was one of the first students to attend Gonzaga University in 1887.

"Working the Line" - Sculpture by VisitWa

“Working The Line” is representative of the pioneer explorers and trappers of the Early West. Burdened with the accoutrements of his trade and showing signs of his isolation from civilization, this trapper gives us some faint idea what life might have been like in this remote area. Local artist Jerry McKellar (a former dentist) created this bronze statue of a mountain man - 8½ feet high, 6 ½ feet tall and 4 feet deep. Characteristic of McKellar’s work is his realistic style, embodied with power and movement. His work varies from extremely fine detail to smooth muscle studies emphasizing the human form. The sculpture was donated to the public by the Spokane Valley Arts Council. posted by Nadine S., Spokane's Homegrown Tourist

American Legion Building - part of Heritage Walk by VisitWa

The American Legion Building is an example of the commercial Renaissance Revival style. Built in 1901, the five-story masonry block was built by businessman, mining tycoon and yachtsman, F. Lewis Clark. John K. Dow was the architect tasked to build and furnish one of the finest club quarters on the west coast. Clad in Minnesota sandstone, blonde pressed brick veneer, creme-colored terra cotta embellishment and possessing a unique inset loggia with Corinthian capitals, Clark's vision came true. Unfortunately, Mr. Clark mysteriously disappeared in Santa Barbara on the night of January 16th, 1914. Only his hat was found in the surf the following day. The building is now known as American Legion Post #9. The original mansard roof, destroyed by a fire in 1939, was reconstructed as part of a renovation project which began in 2003.

Sons of Norway Bldg/Glen Dow Academy by VisitWa

Actually two buildings, 307 was once a separate building and housed a chili parlor, a saloon and eventually a barber shop. 305, was called the F.C. Robertson Building, financed by attorney Frederick C. Robertson. It was designed by Cutter & Malmgren for stores on the ground and the floors above were intended for use by the Odin Hall of Scandinavian Brotherhood, a fraternal lodge. The building’s upper floors continued to be used by fraternal groups, becoming occupied by the Sons of Norway in 1942. The Sons of Norway relocated in 1978 and subsequently, the F.C. Robertson Building was purchased by the Glen Dow Academy of Hair Design. The commercial storefront level of the building has seen a number of occupants, including a cigar store, taverns, cafes, and a State Liquor Store. The storefront was extensively remodeled in 1964.

The Joy of Running Together – Sculpture - PhotoOp by VisitWa

The Joy of Running Together is a public work of art in honor of the annual Spokane Bloomsday Run. It is located near the finish line of the race, and is meant to give encouragement to the runners in their last leg of the race. The work is comprised of 40 life-sized figures of all different ethnicities and nationalities posed in the motion of running. The artist, David Govedare, posed the runners against a wall, put a bright light on them, and traced their exact silhouettes. Govedare then turned to the community and was able to find sponsorships for all of the runners who participated in his artwork. Posted by Nadine S., Spokane’s Homegrown Tourist

Centennial Sculpture - Sculpture Walk - night time PhotoOp by VisitWa

This stainless steel sculpture “floating” on the Spokane River was created by Harold Balazs in 1978 and dedicated to the city in 1981 in celebration of the City of Spokane's centennial year. Harold Balazs is a renowned and adored Spokane figure, and locally his work is most associated with this Riverfront Park sculpture. The sculpture weighs 2 tons and is fixed to the bottom of the Spokane River's south channel. The 35 foot long steel sculpture was designed to reflect light from the water. To capture how light reflects off water and make his sculpture look like it morphs in appearance, Balazs consulted marine engineers from Seattle. During the time of its installation, this sculpture was one of the largest floating statues in the world. Eye-catching night time PhotoOp shooting south toward downtown. posted by Nadine S., Spokane's Homegrown Tourist

Kemp & Hebert/Liberty Bldg -part of Heritage Walk by VisitWa

In 1908, Alfred Jones designed this building for Kemp & Hebert retail dry goods store. Even though many buildings were being built using steel and concrete after the great fire in 1889, this one was made using common wood and masonry framing. The Kemp & Hebert Building was one of Spokane's first department stores. It housed the Kemp and Hebert store until the 1940’s when the Liberty Furniture store took over. Liberty furniture was there until 1987. The four-story building, covered in red pressed brick with a glazed terracotta trim, can be categorized as both Neo-Classical and Commercial Style design. The structural architectural elaboration is symmetrical in design. The street level consists of five store fronts, including Auntie’s Bookstore, who funded a recent renovation of the building.

The Clock Tower – Part of Heritage Walk by VisitWa

The train depot itself was completed in 1902 and was considered the finest depot west of Chicago. Countless passengers embarked and disembarked at the depot, which served famous passenger trains like the “Empire Builder.” The clock tower now stands as a city landmark in the heart of Riverfront Park, the centerpiece of the city.
