STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Built in 1914 during the height of the Arts & Crafts influence in America, the Harry & Evelyn Stimmel House is an excellent example of domestic bungalow architecture embellished in the Craftsman tradition. The Stimmel House was constructed by Spokane home designer/home builder, Caltyon E. Felits. Through his personal artistic interpretation and purist approach to the Craftsman style, Feltis manifested his skills as an accomplished artisan in the design and construction the Stimmel House. To date, a total of ten houses built in Spokane have been attributed to Feltis.

In 1914, Harry A Stimmel and his wife, Evelyn, purchased the property. Stimmel, employed as a "toll engineer" at Pacific Telegraph & Telephone Company, owned the house until 1916 whereby the property was sold.
