Built in 1907, the Hart-Collins House in the East Central neighborhood is a 1.5 story bungalow with Colonial Revival elements. The house was constructed for Henry M. Hart, a Cornell graduate who came to Spokane to serve as principal for South Central High School, now known as Lewis and Clark. Hart was a leader in the establishment and development of Lewis and Clark High School and its traditions. Spokane High School, later called South Central High School, was the first secondary school in the city. The school burned in 1910 and while it was being rebuilt, the two student bodies shared facilities at the new Northside High School under the direction and leadership of Hart. He was instrumental in getting Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt to lay the cornerstone of the new school that opened in April of 1912. Hart suggested the name Lewis and Clark and the school colors, orange and black.
