With assistance from Certified Local
Government (CLG) funding, the Historic Preservation Office is currently
working on the compilation of three new virtual tour guides to follow up
the success and popularity the Historic Downtown Spokane and Historic East
Central tours. One brochure will explore the legacy of the Olmsted
Brothers landscape architecture firm as it is found in the Spokane Park
system, while the other two pamphlets will provide a virtual tour of homes
in Spokane that exhibit the best features of Craftsman and Modern
architecture. These three brochures will provide easily accessible
information to the public and will serve to highlight historic features of
Spokane in time for the National Trust for Historic Preservation Conference
that will be held in Spokane in 2012.
