STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Built in 1908, the Corbet-Aspray House is one of Spokane's finest renditions of architectural eclecticism.  It was designed by master craftsman Kirtland K. Cutter - of the most prolific and widely acclaimed architects in Washington State.  The house was built for noted Spokane mortgage banker James Corbet and his wife Ruth, and was later home to the Melvin and Grace Aspray family for over 55 years.  A prominent area practitioner, Dr. Melvin Aspray was one of the first physicians in Spokane to specialize in radiology, and he helped to establish the radiology department at Sacred Heart Medical Center.
