Old Spokane City Hall - a stop on the Heritage Walk
Old Spokane City Hall, Julius Zittel, Heritage Walk, Spokane WA,sponsor
This building was erected to serve as the temporary home of City Hall in 1912-1913, when railroad construction required demolition of the previous City Hall building. Its interior was designed to be turned into a warehouse when vacated.
It remains much the same as built, a well-preserved legacy of the Commercial Style and Chicago School of architecture, as interpreted by noted local architect Julius Zittel.
This “temporary” building served as City Hall until 1982, when the city offices were moved into the Montgomery Ward Building at Post Street and Spokane Falls Boulevard. It has been renovated for office and commercial space. The Olive Garden restaurant is on the ground floor.
