STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

The Culton-Moylan-Reilly Auto Company and the Fisk Rubber Company buildings served automobile-related uses until recently.  Their long association with Spokane's automobile industry ties them to the development of this area's transportation history.  Though not remarkable for their architecture, they are nonetheless representative of the type of building associated with the evolution of the automobile.  They represent a building type that was once numerous, but is disappearing in the west downtown area.  Their collective facades, designed as a visual unit, add to their architectural character.  Daniel H. Dwight, a member of one of Spokane's earliest pioneer families, built the first two, and was associated with development of the third.
