Built starting in 1902 in a
residential/commercial sector of Spokane's central business district, Avondale Court is historically significant for its association
with the ten years of dramatic growth that Spokane experienced during
the first decade of the 20th century. Unfortunately for the
owners, a mill workers' strike in
1903 delayed the construction of the project and it took several years
to complete. Meanwhile, demand for housing in Spokane skyrocketed,
as population swelled from 36,848 to 104,402 between 1900 and
1910. The Spokesman-Review reported on December 19, 1903: "Spokane leads the nation in
percentage of residential building construction."
