Built in 1906 on Spokane’s South Hill, the Abercrombie House is historically significant for its association with early military history and the development of Spokane. Colonel William R. Abercrombie
first arrived in Spokane in 1877. After being assigned to several different military outposts,
Abercrombie and his wife Lillian Kimball Abercrombie made the
Abercrombie House their first permanent Spokane home, living in it from 1908 until their deaths. Colonel Abercrombie
participated in the Indian wars and was named commander of Fort George Wright
(now a National Historic District) in 1910. More than any other building in Spokane, the Abercrombie
House represents Colonel Abercrombie's influence in Spokane. Builder Aaron Lundquist constructed this well-preserved Craftsman style house.
