Statement of Significance

The Fotheringham House is significant as a contributing structure in the Browne’s Addition National Historic District and for its association, though brief, with David B. Fotheringham, a successful building contractor and community leader who served as Mayor of Spokane.  Fotheringham built this house in 1889 and occupied it with his wife Mary while he built his permanent home next west at 2128 West Second Avenue, completed in 1891.  After building this house, Fotheringham turned his attention to the site across the street, where he constructed the opulent Patrick Clark Mansion at 2208 West Second Avenue.  Mrs. Mabel C. Williamson, widow of Victor, bought Fotheringham’s first house in 1915, remaining to 1960.  James L. Red, a Spokane salesman, bought the house around 1970.  It remains in the Red family as a single-family residence.
