The Women's Hotel stands as
monument to the work of civic spirit
ed women of Spokane, who have de-
voted their time and efforts with no
thought of personal gain or remuner-
alton.
The idea of hotel to better the
condition of working girls who lacked
home environment, was conceived by
Dean Perrine formerly of All Saints
cathedral. Ii was started in 1904 by
a group of women who have worked
earnestly and unselfishly for the bet
terment of conditions for young wo-
manhood The original hotel was at
Madison and Sprague in the old st.
Luke's hospital building In August.
1925, the hotel was moved to its pres
ent location, 500 Fourth avenue, a
modernly equipped building of SS
rooms. Pleasant recreation rooms
where they may entertain their
friends, congenial surroundings and
the understanding and sympathy of
a matron, who is real mother in her
interest in the girls and their prob
lens, makes this institution outstand-
ing. From time to time letters have
been received from groups of women
in other cities asking information on
its plan.
