The Danson-Chase House is a fine depiction of the Tudor Revival style with English cottage "Storybook" influence. The property was listed in 1997 on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing resource of the Rockwood National Register Historic District, one of Spokane's most historically and architecturally prominent residential neighborhoods. Tudor Revival style-defining features manifested at the Danson-Chase House include the home's one and one-half story side-gable house form, asymmetrical design, steeply pitched roof, multiple prominent front-facing gables, massive brick chimney, recessed front entrance, multi-paned windows, and textured "raked" brick veneer. Built for noted Spokane attorney Robert J. Danson and his wife Ethel E. Danson, the house was owned by the family for more than twenty years. Robert Danson founded and organized at least four law firms in Spokane and was noted for his work in courts, individual merit, resourcefulness, and capable management of business interests and investments.
