STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

The Green-Hughes Printing Company Building was built in 1911.  The most significant owners of the building were Robert Green and Harley Hughes, who together owned and operated the Green-Hughes Printing Company that was located in the building from 1936 to 1951.  From their printing presses on the building's first floor, Green and Hughes produced thousands of issues of Labor World, the most widely read weekly labor newspaper in the region at that time, covering organized union activity in Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, and Western Montana.
