Statement of Significance

The F.T. Crowe/Luminaria Building, a former rail corridor warehouse, was constructed during the city’s most significant period of growth and is associated with Spokane’s railroad history.  As a warehouse and as a contributing structure in the West Downtown Historic Transportation Corridor, the building is a specific property type within that district.  The warehouse building served as a transfer point for materials shipped into Spokane via the Northern Pacific Railroad to serve the market of Spokane and the Inland Northwest.  The F.T. Crowe and Company, building suppliers, constructed the building in 1909 and occupied it through 1915.  Pacific Hide and Fur, a materials salvage company, occupied the building between 1916 and 1965, and Luminaria, a lighting company, between 1988 and 2004.
