Statement of Significance

Erected in 1908 and 1912 respectively, the Bell House and its single-car garage were built for Dr. Robert Bell and his wife, Jesse.  Bell, a pediatric dentist, and his wife Jessie and their two children lived in the house from 1908 to 1918.  The home was showcased in a July 26, 1908 Spokesman-Review article that touted the home's design as "an attractive example of the modern American house," a "distinctive style of architecture" built in the "American type."   The house was designed by Spokane architect Alonzo J. Grover.   Both the house and garage are historically and architecturally significant and were nominated to the Spokane Register of Historic Places under Categories A and C.
