Statement of Significance

With its glistening white clapboard frame, massive marble-like columns, red roof and red brick foundation, the stately Armstrong House is reminiscent of the grand, antebellum mansions of the South.  Located on Spokane's prestigious South Hill, the Armstrong House is in the Ninth Avenue National Historic District.  The house was built in 1910 for Major James Melville Armstrong, a Civil War veteran and early Spokane business and mining entrepreneur who died shortly before the house was built.  His wife Lida B. Armstrong succeeded her husband as president of his company and oversaw the construction of the house.
