Tne marvellous growth OF the Pa
ciflc Northwest in population In the
last thirty years and the settlement
and development of its vast territory
caused an enormous amount of build
ing Of residences and business places.
UP to within the last ten or fifteen
years little thought was given to the
style Of architecture, the stability of
the building. its ventilation or sani-
tation. Every man was his own
architect, especially in the dwellings.
But when the people began to fully
realize the future greatness Of the
Northwest there came a change in
the construction Of buildings and, be-
sides seeking beauty Of proportion
and fitness Of design. they also began
to give attention to the solid and en-
during construction. sanitary consid-
erations and fire-proof qualities. The
progress made was marvellous and in
no city Of the Northwest more mar
velous than In Spokane. which today
has more modern. up-to-date business
blocks. schools and churches and
beautiful dwellings than in any other
city of the same size in the United
States. The unpretentious buildings
Of earlier days are rapidly disappear
ing and the more modern structures
are erected In their places.
The part played by her architects
in this great building revolution is
not only invaluable. but incalculable.
Spokane was fortunate in having a
number of high-class architects. but
to none Is she more indebted than to
the firm Of Preusse & Zittel, one Of
the most progressive and capable
architect firms in the Northwest.
They established their business hero
In 1889. the year of the great fire.
and since then have been among the
leading spirits in the identifying of
our city and were the designers and
superintendent of the construction of
many of our most notable buildings.
among which were the Auditorium,
the Pacific Hotel Jameson building,
Holland building. Fernwell building.
Blalock building. Ziegler building,
Granite block. Hotel Victoria. Lamo-
ma block, Gonzaga College. Academy
OF the Holy Name. and many of our
finest dwellings. Their reputation
was not bounded by local lines, how
over. as they were the designers of
the public school buildings at Couer
d'Alene City and Wallace. Idaho; Gar
field, Oaksdale. Pullman. Cotton and
Uniontown. Wash: the State Normal
School at Lewistown. Idaho, as well
as n large number of business blocks
in Ritzville. Colfax. Garfield and other
cities.
While furnishing designs and spec
ifcations for buildings of all kinds.
they have made a special study of
fire-proof construction. sanitary re-
quirements. interior arrangements

are at S9-90-91-92-93 Jameson build
ing, and Messrs, Sherman Preusse and
Julius A. Zittel, who compose the
firm. are recognized as among the
leading members of their profession
and their services are in demand. not
only in Spokane. but throughout this
