Apr. 13—Only a few months before the Great Fire of 1889, Washington Water Power — now called Avista — was formed by a group of Spokane businessmen to make electricity from the Spokane River. The Edison Electric Illuminating Co. had formed a few years earlier. Even with both companies in operation, demand exceeded supply. Initially, all the power went to streetlights and a few businesses.

The corner of Sprague Avenue and Park Road was home to early tire factories until the 1920s, then was followed by a business combining war and peas. Washington Tire and Rubber started up in 1918 believing that Spokane could challenge Akron, Ohio, as a home of tire manufacturing. Although the factory did open, the property was foreclosed on around 1920. A new company, Jack Tire & Rubber, took over in 1922 and lasted until 1926. Then came the Morrison Bros. Seed Company.

In 1940, the people of the United States were hearing reports of devastating German attacks on Britain and looking for ways to send relief. It was a year before there would be direct U.S. involvement in Europe. Mrs. Howard C. Paulsen, along with a group of society women, founded a Spokane chapter of Bundles for Britain in September 1940 and began collecting donations of clothing and linens in an office in the Paulsen Building, which her family owned.

Then and Now: Corbin Park

Two miles north of downtown Spokane and a few blocks off of Division Street, the area of Corbin Park was largely undeveloped in the 1880s and was used by the Washington and Idaho Fair Association for an annual fair and for horse racing. The fairs moved to other locations but the horse racing continued through the 1890s. Railroad builder Daniel C. Corbin owned the property and took over when the fair association couldn't raise the money to buy it.

Then and Now: In a different era, this building was Spokane's 'school for backward children'

1 month ago | yahoo.com | Jesse Tinsley

Mar. 10—At the turn of the 20th century, Spokane was booming and public schools were bursting at the seams. Also growing were the number of students, because of developmental delays or disabilities, assigned to "special classes." The Spokane school district, organized in 1899, built the first school for special classes, the Eugene Field School, in 1902 at the defunct Spokane College in the area of what is now Kendall Yards.
