Kenneth & Edna Brooks House embodies the distinctive characteristics
the modern movement in Spokane during the 1950's. Additionally,
the 1956 home represents the early work of Spokane architect Kenneth W.
Brooks, who was one of the prominent trendsetters in the local
architectural community for over 30 years. Through his long and distinguished
career, he received architectural acclaim at the local, state and
national level, and even received architectural note in a variety of
European publications. Also, the house is significant under
