Victor Dessert and his wife Georges Wilson Dessert were two prominent civic benefactors, city leaders, and founders of the Dessert Hotel chain which included seven hostelries built in Spokane, Ritzville, and Coeur d’Alene.
The Dessert Block was built in 1904. The building consisted of a saloon facing Bernard St., a drug store on the corner and a clothing store. The upper floors were hotel rooms.
In later years, it was known as the St. Regis Hotel. In 1970, Larry Brown opened his popular Onion Bar on the main floor.
