This unusual house was designed by Franklin
Manz, prominent Spokane architect, and built by Rockwood
home builder C.A. Lansdowne in 1912 for a reported $13,500 - a sizeable sum of money for that time.
The American Foursquare style home was purchased by Ralph E. Dyar, author, playwright and former director of the
Spokesman-Review promotion and research department. Dyar, a descendant of
one of the first passengers brought to America aboard the
"Mayflower," owned
and lived in the home for 40 years together with his wife Else Kiesling
Dyar. The house changed hands several times after the death of Else Kiesling Dyar in 1967, and is currently owned by Vernon and Janine
Arneson.
