Look Up, Spokane! (Part Two)

Welcome to Part 2 of my Look Up, Spokane! series. Last month I showed you some pictures I took of the Spokesman Review Building.

Today, we’re going across the street. I had never noticed something rather fascinating about this more modern building: outside, along Monroe, are a series of twelve busts. Each bust is of a person who shaped Spokane. Some of these people I’ve come across in my research of 1901 Spokane for my book, The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Taker.

Take a look!

What a surprise to find these influential faces looking down on me when I looked up during my walk downtown!

So don’t forget, no matter where you live, to look up every now and then. You may be surprised by what you find! Happy hunting!
