Possible Rehabilitation of the Historic Jensen-Byrd Building (see below)

Designed by architect Albert Held in 1909 for the Marshall-Wells Hardware Company of Duluth, Minnesota, the Jensen-Byrd Building was built as a warehouse during the peak of Spokane's early twentieth century prosperity.  It features a classically-detailed facade that wraps around three sides, linking Downtown Spokane, the WSU Riverpoint Campus, and the emerging University District.  WSU has recently issued a Request for Proposals for redevelopment of a 3.5 acre parcel that includes this important building.  In a notable change of position, WSU will not, for now, consider demolition.  For more information, read the full ad SPA Advocacy Committee ran in the April 6th issue of the Spokesman Review.
