Constructed in
1912, the James Codd House was built during the second phase of
single-family housing construction along East Mission Avenue, between
the 200 and 800 block, what is today identified as the Mission Avenue
National Historic District. In 1986, the Codd House was designated as a
contributing historic resource of the Mission Avenue Historic District.
The Codd House is an excellent example of the Craftsman style and as a
product of architect Joseph T. Levesque. Levesque designed homes and
commercial buildings in Spokane only for a very short period of time
between 1911 and 1914. Levesque, in partnership with several other local
prominent architects, designed several commercial buildings and only a
handful of residential homes, including his own home at 1708 S. Maple
Boulevard. The Codd House was constructed for James E. Codd,
secretary/treasurer of the Codd Investment Company. Mike and Nellie
Scaler later acquired the property in the late 1920s. The property would
change hands several more times before being converted into a
multi-family apartment house. During the property’s period of
significance from 1911 to 1927, the Codd House achieved historic
significance for its association with the architectural development and
settlement of the Logan Neighborhood, specifically along East Mission
Avenue, and is additionally architecturally significant as an example of
the Craftsman style with Japanese elements and as a product of architect
Joseph T. Levesque.
