Building Notes
A brief description in the Western Architect said of Saint Luke's Hospital: "St. Luke's Hospitalat Spokane is a good type of hospital for an average city, when, as in this instance, it is located on a rise of ground with ample space surrounding it for lawn and shrubbery." (See "Illustrations," The Western Architect, vol. 9, no. 1, 01/1906, p. 14.)
Boughton-Robbins postcard #2791 showed the hospital's exterior c. 1910. The building had an L-shape at the time, with three stories covered by perpindicular gable roofs. Exterior details were in the Colonial Revival Style. Notably, one end wall had a stepped parapet. Two porticos, painted white, projected on the front facade.
