STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

The Bryant Apartments/Broadway Pharmacy Building is historically significant for its associations with the growth and development of one of Spokane's oldest neighborhoods, and as one of the few remaining intact examples of commercial architecture in the West Broadway business district.  In 1910 Stephen Morris, a motorman for W.W.P., had this building built; he sold the property in 1915 to Lydia Rogers. The property stayed with the Rogers family until 1979. This building once housed the Bryant Apartments, one of Charles Marr's grocery stores, and the Broadway Pharmacy. Charles Marr was a successful West Central businessman, owning more than seventy grocery stores at the peak of his career.
