The Roosevelt Apartments is one of the finest historic apartment blocks in Spokane and is associated with the development of multi-family residences in the West Seventh Avenue neighborhood. The Roosevelt Apartments were designed in 1929 by noted Spokane architect Gustav Albin Pehrson and built by the Huetter Construction Company. The apartment building was constructed for Ben Goldstein and Harry Lubin, two of Spokane’s most influential civic, business, and Jewish community leaders. The Roosevelt Apartments is a fine example of vernacular Commercial Block style architecture and features glazed terracotta ornamentation depicting Beaux Arts-style influence--a style influence rarely seen in Spokane.

 

The Roosevelt Apartments was added to the Spokane Register for Historic Places in March of 2000, joining the National Register only five months later in August.
