Committee Mission
To take a positive stand for preservation by providing a strong voice for preservation issues within the Spokane community.
Advocacy Issues
Bishop White Seminary (Huetter House)
If you get a chance, drive down East Sharp and take a look at the Huetter House in its new location. We recently placed an ad in the Inlander to thank Gonzaga for all their work in getting the house moved and renovated. See the link below for a copy of the ad.
Jensen-Byrd Building
The Jensen-Byrd building is a 1909 warehouse designed by Albert Held for the Marshall-Wells Hardware Co. of Duluth, Minnesota. It is currently owned by Washington State University and sits on the edge of the Riverpoint Campus. See the links below for more information.
As mentioned in SPA's June, 2008, Newsletter, the fate of the Jensen-Byrd Building remains uncertain. While WSU appears to be interested in saving the building, no plans for rehabilitation were included in the proposal for development that they selected. The building remains on the Washington Trust most endangered watch list and its preservation will continue to be a large focus for the committee this year.
The Advocacy Committee encourages everyone to get involved in their neighborhoods and neighborhood councils. If you know of a preservation issue you would like the committee to become involved in, please contact us.
