Statement of Significance

Built in 1899 for business and civic leader John W. Binkley, the Montvale Block is historically and architecturally significant as one of the oldest and best preserved examples of a Single Room Occupancy Hotel, or SRO, a type of working class housing popular in the decades around the turn of the twentieth century when Spokane experienced a tremendous building and population boom.
