Realty Building/The DeLaney – part of the Heritage

Albert Held, DeLaney Building, Realty Building, Spokane WA, Heritage Walk, KREM, Cole E. Wylie, KSBN,sponsor

Albert Held designed this structure for the Spokane Realty Company in 1910. In later years it was used as an annex of City Hall and once housed the Spokane Police Department. In the late 1940’s the building was purchased by Cole E. Wylie and became KREM radio station. The station's transmitter was built on the roof with the tower 190 feet above it. The counterpoise for the antenna consisted of wires strung between the top of the roof across streets and parking lots to other nearby buildings. The station's studio and business office were located inside. The building name was changed to the DeLaney Building. It is currently used as an apartment building for senior citizens. The transmitter atop the building is still in place and is being used by radio station KSBN 1230 kHz. posted by N. Schulte, Spokane's Homegrown Tourist
