STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Built in 1898, the D.C. Corbin House is historically significant for its association with its builder and owner, Daniel Chase Corbin, a pioneer in transportation and other successful business ventures in the Inland Northwest.  Later occupants included F. Lewis Clark, Judge George Turner, and Kirtland K. Cutter, Spokane’s best-known architect.  Cutter, who was Corbin’s son-in-law, designed the home for him in the Georgian Revival style.  The Corbin House, then, is also significant for its association with Cutter, and as an excellently preserved example of his work.  It is a contributing building, moreover, in the Marycliff-Cliff Park National Historic District.
