Historic Interest This is a nationally- and locally-registered historic home, built in 1899 by the tenth Mayor of Spokane. His family owned the home for over fifty years continually, with the last grandchild raised here passing away in the early 2000s. Louie and Lynn have worked continually since 2002 to restore its second floor to four individual suites, and to renovate their first floor living space and exterior to its original glory.

Romantic Interest This is a historically happy home; it was built by the tenth mayor of Spokane in 1899 for the love of his life, Dora, and they raised their children and grands here for over 50 years. Since 2002, Louie and Gillian have worked to restore its eventual six apartments (added-in after the Korean War) to four second floor guest suites and a main floor living area. Two of those (almost three!) are now complete and available. Gillian and Louie occupy the first floor, which is nearly restored. These suites are full of happy spirits, long-loving. They are decorated in calming, serene colors, each self-contained with private baths (Dora has a jacuzzi tub!), and are adorned with candle light (now electric and on timers), seasonal flowers and chocolates for all guests. They have a private guest entry, so that each party can come and go at-will. Sleeping areas do not abut common walls.
