The Alvin Jensen House is significant for its association
with Alvin with Alvin Jensen, owner and operator of the Jensen-Byrd
Company for over 70 years. The Jensen-Byrd Company is the longest
operating wholesale hardware business in the Spokane region and it is
the Pacific Northwest's largest hardware distributor. The house is
also significant as the work of master architects Harold Whitehouse and
Ernest Price, who designed many of the region's best known structures,
including the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Spokane. The
Jensen House, built in 1941, is also a fine example of the Colonial
Revival style of architecture.
