The Buena Vista Apartment buildings were constructed as
the Hotel Vallamont (11 S. Cedar) and the Buena Vista Apartments (5
S. Cedar) in 1905. The area in which the structure sits was originally a
residential neighborhood near the center of the small town, but as the
city's population increased, there was a demand for apartment and hotel
space. Several three story structures, both hotel and
apartment, were erected. Some were built as luxurious quarters,
but others such as these two were for more moderate incomes. This
neighborhood was convenient to the expanding downtown office and
shopping center and eventually boasted Linden trees on grassy
islands in the middle of the wide boulevards, resulting from landscaping suggestions made
by noted landscape architects the Olmsted Brothers in their Park Board
report to the City of Spokane.
