The
Holy Names Academy Building is significant in the educational
history of Spokane and the Inland Northwest.
Chartered in 1891 as a private secondary academy and expanded in
1907 to become one of the state’s first private normal schools, the
Academy offered both a high school curriculum and a teacher training
course for young women from throughout the Inland Northwest for many
decades. The building,
built in 1891 and enlarged in 1903, reflects the designs of Spokane
architects Patrick Donohoe and the well-known firm of Preusse and Zittel
and is an important example of Victorian institutional architecture in
Spokane.
