STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

This is James Glover's third house. Known as the "father" of Spokane, James Glover was the proprietor of the first General Store, and founder of the First National Bank, among other endeavors.  After the bank failed in 1893, Glover, having lost most of his fortune, was forced to sell his showpiece Kirtland Cutter-designed home on 8th Ave.  He relocated to this house in 1909, remaining until his death in 1921.  Other owners included Frank Brown, proprietor of the Brown Printing Company.
