Building History

In the immediate aftermath of serious fires across the State of WA in 1889, the Washington Safe Deposit Vaults developed secure and fireproof vault services. The Washington Safe Deposit Vaults of Spokane, WA, began operations in 05/1890. It conducted business in 1893 on the northwest corner of Howard Street and Sprague Avenue. W.S. McCrea was its local lessee and manager. (See R.L. Polk and Company's Spokane, Washington, City Directory, 1893, p. 81.)
