STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Located near Hillyard and Mead, six miles north of Spokane, the Mt. Saint Michael Seminary was built in the same vicinity of the first Catholic mission serving the Spokane Indians, which was established in 1866. Designed by noted Spokane architect Julius Zittel, Mount St. Michael, built in 1914, is an outgrowth of the first Jesuit seminary to be established west of the Mississippi River and remains as a symbol of the development of Catholicism in the Pacific Northwest.
