STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Completed by 1908, the Grace Baptist Church was one of the first churches built on the north side of the Spokane River. Designed by John K. Dow, a prominent architect who practiced in Spokane between 1884 and 1937, the building reflects the strong influence of the Gothic Revival Style. Although a number of other early twentieth century ecclesiastical buildings remain in the West Central neighborhood, Grace Baptist reflects a particularly high degree of its original architectural integrity. Later additions on the south end of the facility create only a slight distraction from this impressive local landmark.
