Cost: please see our rates sheet We're in Browne's Addition Browne's Addition is a small community adjacent to downtown Spokane, flanked by the river. The first buildings were erected 1886, and a flurry of development followed as Spokane boomed with the mining industry. Many of the houses are massive wonders of architecture, styles ranging from turreted Victorian to Arts and Crafts. Building slowed close to 1915 as the mining money tapered off in Spokane, and many of the mansions were converted to apartments in the late twenties. Browne's addition favors the eclectic, it is a community that welcomes visitors, has many interesting features without being "touristy." Its lovely historic atmosphere and close proximity to the Spokane Hospital Complexes, Downtown Spokane and the Airport make it a perfect stopping point. Local Food and Entertainment: The Reid House complex is within easy walking distance (five blocks) to what many claim is the best breakfast spot in Spokane, "The Cannon Street Grill." Right across the street from there is "The Elk" pub--recently voted Spokane's best night spot.
