Statement of Significance

Designed by Fred Westcott (Hyslop and Westcott Architects) and built by John E. Anderson, this Tudor Revival style house was reported to have cost in excess of $20,000 to erect in 1930. The house was built for James Leonard Cooper, a pioneer Spokane financier, founder of the J. L. Cooper and Company mortgage firm, and president of Spokane Savings Bank.  Louis Wasmer, founder of Spokane's KHQ radio station, lived in the house from 1933 to 1949.  The house, then, is historically significant for its association with Cooper and Wasmer and architecturally significant as an example of master architect Fred Westcott's interpretation of the Tudor Revival style.
