Built in 1887 and 1889, the
Hussey-Borgeson
House and its barn/stable/carriage house are excellent examples of the
Queen Anne Style and are two of the oldest and most intact domestic
buildings in Spokane. The carriage house and 1889 additions were
designed by prominent Spokane architect Loren L. Rand; the architect of
the original house is unknown. The house was built for mining and
banking entrepreneur Warren Hussey and his wife Libby Shaw Hussey.
It was later home to the Claus Borgeson family for over 80 years.
The house is a contributing property in the Browne's Addition National
Historic District but is historically and architecturally significant in
its own right for its association with the early settlement and
development of Spokane and as a superior example of the Queen Anne style
of architecture.
