Statement of Significance

A favorite and familiar landmark in Spokane, the Benewah Milk Bottle Store was designed by the prestigious architectural firm of Whitehouse and Price and built in 1935 by contractor W.G. Myers.  The Milk Bottle, an example of literalism in advertising and modern technology, was one of two of the whimsical retail outlets constructed for Paul E. Newport, a well-known creamery operator and merchant with five other outlet stores in the area in addition to his Benewah plant.
