STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Built in 1884, the Daniel and Mary Dwight House is one of the earliest homes remaining in the Browne's Addition National Historic District.  Prominent Spokane architect Herman Preusse designed the home in the Queen Anne style for W. B. Willis and his wife Susan.  After her husband's death, Susan Willis sold the house to her daughter, Mary, and Mary's husband, Daniel Dwight.  Dwight was a real estate investor who owned property in Browne's Addition and throughout Spokane.  The house is most closely associated with the Dwight family because they lived in it for nearly 75 years.  It remains a single-family residence, despite a short stint as a restaurant, and is one of the most intact homes in Browne's Addition.
