21st Annual Mother’s Day Historic House Tour: Sunday, May 9, 2010, Noon to 5 p.m. The tour compliments the MAC exhibition, The Arts & Crafts Movement in the Pacific Northwest March 13 – June 26, 2010.
Around 1900, Spokane’s growing business community and well-trained cadre of architects assured that residential neighborhoods would fill with quality bungalows and Craftsman houses. Design elements ranged from typical California arches and Swiss Chalet balconies, to British half-timbered facades and Asian rooflines. Large lot sizes gave each house more room for landscape and street trees. Accomplished Spokane builder Ivan Abraham designed and constructed a 1912 home for Mansfield Mack in the Rockwood neighborhood. This home is featured on the tour, and also in the MAC’s companion exhibition and book by Glenn Mason and Lawrence Kreisman, Tickets are available after May 1st at the MAC, 2316 West First Avenue in Browne’s Addition during business hours, and during tour hours at selected open houses. Tickets: $10 for MAC members; $15 for non-members. MAC admission discount coupons will be included inside the Mother’s Day Tour booklet. This tour is presented by the Historic Preservation Committee of the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture. The committee and event staff is comprised of volunteers, and homeowners have generously offered access to their homes for this special event. Tour proceeds support MAC preservation programs, in particular those related to historic Campbell House.
