The Buchanan building is
significant architecturally and historically.
Designed by local architects F. P. Rooney and Lewis Stritesky,
the Buchanan Building was built in 1911 to house James D. Buchanan’s
undertaking business. Buchanan’s
mortuary, one of the finest undertaking establishments in the city,
remained in the building until 1924, when it became the Hennessey and
Calloway Funeral Home. The ornate entry marquee, elaborate lobby and impressive
chapel remain as a testament to the prominence of this early Spokane
business.
