The Spokesman-Review Building – Part of Heritage W
Spokesman-Review,Spokane WA, Heritage Walk,downtown Spokane, Chauncy B. Seeton,sponsor
The Review Tower is an historic landmark that was built in 1891, following the great fire that burned down many buildings in downtown Spokane. Construction began in March 1890 and was completed in October 1891. The architect was Chauncy B. Seeton. It houses the Spokesman-Review, a regional newspaper.
It was the tallest building in the downtown area for 10 years. The front entrance of the building has attractive pink and red, 395 million years old Tennessee marble. The walls in the lobby are yellow marble from Italy. The tower was made with a steel structure that would be fireproof. Other materials used included concrete and red brick.
The Cowles family still own the building and publishes the newspaper today, almost 125 years later.
