The Spokane Club Building
Spokane Club Building, Spokane WA, Kirtland Cutter,,sponsor
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.
