Brick by Brick: We Built this City
January 17-June 14, 2026
Among people of all ages is the universal desire to create and explore, to use our hands to make something that wasn’t there before.
Using LEGO® Bricks to create detailed scale replicas, local MOC (My Own Creation) builders have brought seven of Spokane’s landmarks to life:
- Spokesman-Review Tower
- Historic Davenport Hotel
- The Great Northern Clock Tower and Radio Flyer Wagon from Riverfront Park
- Spokane Falls, the Monroe Street Bridge and Washington Water Works Building
- Spokane County Courthouse
- Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist
- Campbell House
Inspired by early Spokane architects who designed unique buildings for a city that was establishing itself as an important player in a growing country, the builders chose structures that have come to define downtown. They are an integral part of the local landscape, inspiring Spokane residents to fight to preserve and celebrate them for over a hundred years. These buildings are a part of people’s everyday lives, their memories, and their stories.
Enjoy these incredibly realistic LEGO® Brick interpretations of Spokane’s most recognizable structures, each paired with rich historical insights from the Joel E. Ferris Archives. Compare them with their real life photos, and then join the fun in our hands-on “Free Build” space and assemble your own unique creations.
Brick by Brick transforms the creative and playful act of building into an exploration of how architecture influences our sense of community and place.

The Builders
The models of the Great Northern Clock Tower and Red Wagon and the Monroe Street Bridge, Spokane Falls, and Washington Water Works Building were all built by Bryce Colvin, owner of Brick Buy Brick, who has been creating LEGO® builds since childhood and enjoys bringing imagined ideas to life. The clock tower and wagon are sponsored by Deanne Jackson. The falls and bridge scene is sponsored by the Avista Foundation.
The model of the Spokesman Review Tower was created by Eddie Gooden, a lifelong LEGO® enthusiast and LEGO® Masters Season 3 contestant. For Gooden, LEGO® represents creativity, joy, and exploration. The tower model is sponsored by the Cowles Company.
LEGO® builders Roxy Lang and Ryan Means created the model of Campbell House to celebrate family, imagination, and Spokane’s history. After viewing the model, visitors are encouraged to tour the historic home located on the MAC campus.
Spokane native and 2025 Shadle High School graduate, Joseph Perkins, recreated the Spokane County Courthouse in LEGO® bricks. Now studying architecture at the University of Washington, Perkins recently placed sixth in an international LEGO® Ideas contest, earning exhibition space at the LEGO® House in Denmark. The courthouse is sponsored by Spokane County.
Sisters Sheena McClure and Jessica Reichard—known as the “Leg Godt Ladies”—recreated the historic Davenport Hotel at mega scale. Inspired by a childhood visit to Legoland in Denmark, the pair have built with LEGO® bricks for decades, using them for creativity, teaching, and connection. They invite visitors to “play well.” The hotel model is sponsored by Teck.
Christian Gill constructed this LEGO® model of the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist on-site at the MAC beginning in October 2025. A lifelong LEGO® enthusiast, this is Gill’s largest and first public build, reflecting both craftsmanship and community pride. The cathedral model is sponsored by Harold and Pricilla Gilkey.
