Constructed in 1888, the
Fred J. and Alice Flint House was constructed immediately after
Nettleton’s 1st Addition in the West Central neighborhood was
platted in 1887. In 2006, the Flint House was designated as a
contributing historic resource of the Nettleton’s Addition Historic
District, Washington state’s largest National Register Historic
District. The Flint House is a fine early example of the Tudor Revival
style. The Flint House was constructed for Fred J. Flint, president of
the Flint Investment Company. Flint came to Spokane in 1882 from Seattle
and promptly began a lucrative real estate business with partner Fred B.
Grinnell. In 1890 Flint married Alice L. Gray, the daughter of a Boxport,
Maine ship captain. The Flints occupied this home at 2321 WEST Boone
Avenue until Alice’s death in 1922, followed four years later by Fred’s
passing in 1926. At that time, the home sold to William T. Shelton who
would occupy the home for the next nearly thirty years. During the
property’s period of significance from 1888 to 1926, the Flint House
achieved historic significance for its association with the
architectural development and settlement of Nettleton’s 1st
and 2nd Additions in the West Central neighborhood, and is
architecturally significant as an example of the Tudor Revival style.
Historically and architecturally significant, the Flint House is
nominated for listing on the Spokane Register of Historic Places under
Category A.
