This house is significant as a
contributing building in the Browne’s Addition National Historic
District and as the family home of David B. Fotheringham, a successful
building contractor and community leader.
Fotheringham lived in a temporary house he built next east while
he was building this one. He finished, fittingly, in 1891, the same year he became
Mayor of Spokane. After
moving in, Fotheringham turned his attention to the the lot across the
street to the west, where he built the opulent Patrick Clark
Mansion,
designed by Spokane’s best known architect, Kirtland Cutter.
Fotheringham remained in the house to 1926, when Fay E. and Ina
Dobson purchased it and converted it into an apartment building.
In 1984, the house was partially restored and remodeled to
accommodate a bed and breakfast, which it remains.
