STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Since 1930, Fire Station No. 9 not only provided fire protection for a large part of the city, but was an important factor in the neighborhood's social life, as a center for local functions and various services.  The station is also important as an illustration of a transitional period in local firehouse design.  It was the last Spokane station to have been deliberately designed to complement the stylish appearance of neighboring residences.
