Built in 1905 and 1917 respectively, the Hussey House and carriage house are excellent examples of the Arts & Crafts tradition expressed in the Craftsman style. The property’s original design and architectural elements reflect a strong horizontal emphasis which is a prominent component of the Craftsman-style. Horizontal features of the property include jerkinhead gables, widely overhanging eaves, exposed rafter tails, wide bargeboards with pointed cutout tails, decorative brackets, battered double-coursed shingles in combination with narrow-width clapboard siding, a covered front porch, and wide horizontal bands that separate the spaces between the basement, first floor, second floor, and gable peaks. The house was designed by John A. Creutzer, an architect who practiced in Spokane for only six years but gained notoriety for his multi-storied high-rise commercial building designs in Seattle, Washington. The property was built for Charles Hussey, a prominent “pioneer mining man” and early Spokane banker, and his wife, Susan McNamee Hussey. One of the first homes built in Booges Addition, the Hussey House is characteristic of early Spokane urban development patterns and trends that led to the residential settlement of the city’s lower South Hill.
