STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

The Campbell House was designed by Kirtland Cutter and Karl Malmgren and was built in 1898 for Amasa B. Cambell, his wife Grace, and their daughter Helen. Campbell made a fortune in mining exploration and operations in the Coeur d'Alene mining region northeast of Spokane. He partnered with John Finch, his neighbor second house west. Helen Campbell gave the Cambell House to the Eastern Washington State Historical Society and the Cheney Cowles Museum in the 1920s. The house was later restored to serve as a historic home that operates in conjunction with the Spokane Museum of Arts & Culture. It is open for public tours and visitation.
