STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Erected in 1929, this was originally one of the several "Dutch Shops" built by the Cambern Corp., a well known bakery and ice cream business in town.  By 1935 it was converted to house a  lunch counter and grocery store, before later being divided into two apartments.  The whimsical windmill structure is one of three former windmill "Dutch Shops" that remain in Spokane.
