2008 Holiday Party a Success!
|
|
SPA's 2008 Holiday Party was a huge success despite the arrival of the season's first extremely chilly temperatures. Over 150 guests enjoyed a variety of beverages and catered appetizers while touring the finely-restored interior of the 1912 Moorehouse-Williams home, owned by Lawrence Stone. It was beautifully decorated with evergreen garlands, live Christmas trees in full regalia, and red poinsettias for the occasion. Guests especially appreciated the detailed information about the home's interior appointments, supplied by friends of the homeowner acting as docents. A spectacular panoramic view of the city's lights was available from all the rooms on the north side of the home.
The two-and-one half storied home is an eclectic blend of stylistic Tudor Revival and Craftsman details. Its interior boasts large rooms with gleaming oak woodwork, doors, and floors, original light fixtures, grand entry with carved oak staircase, a master bedroom with en-suite fireplace, several beautifully tiled bath rooms, a basement game room, and much more. The home was designed by accomplished architect Frank Hutchinson and is listed as a historic landmark on the Spokane, Washington State, and National Registers of Historic Places.
