Recorded as one of the earliest reinforced concrete buildings in the state of Washington, the Holley-Mason block was built in 1905 and advertised as Spokane’s first fireproof building constructed of reinforced concrete. The Holley-Mason block was commissioned by Holley-Mason Hardware Company, which independently occupied the space until the 1920’s when the company consolidated with a national hardware company, Marshall Wells, who later relocated to the Jensen-Byrd building. The building was designed by prominent Spokane architect Albert Held, and is one of the city’s finest examples of Renaissance Revival style. Defining characteristics of the style include the building’s visually delineated storefront base that supports several repetitively detailed upper floors, arched windows, and a prominent cornice and parapet termination.
