Built in 1912, the Mack-Hayfield-Kane House and Garage are excellent examples of the Craftsman Style.  The house is distinguished by a unique design, an original garage that echoes the quality, materials, and architectural elements of the house and by grounds and a basalt rock wall remnants that accentuate the property.  This is an update to the property which was already listed on the Spokane Register of Historic Places as the Mack-Kane House and Garage under Category C. The updated nomination includes more narrative concerning the 1918 garden which was developed by the Hayfields who owned the house from 1914 to 1941. They purchased the adjacent vacant lot in 1918 and developed a formal garden with paths,  trees, shrubs, flowers, a reflecting pool, and a basalt rock wall that encircled three sides of the property. As a result of an updated nomination, the name of the house is changing to the Mack-Hayfield-Kane House, Garage & Garden. The mid-block greenspace has become a neighborhood oasis used as a place of quiet contemplation by its owners and neighbors alike.

The home was built for Spokane attorney, Mansfield Mack by contractor Ivan Abraham, an accomplished Spokane builder who constructed several other homes in the Rockwood District.  The house was later home for nearly 60 years to Spokane furniture maker Owen Kane and his daughter Katherine.  Unusual for its four front-facing gables and facade design and for its “artistic” interpretation of the identifying features of the Craftsman Style, the home retains excellent integrity in all respects.

The Mack-Hayfield-Kane House, Garage & Garden is a contributing property in the Rockwood Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The property was originally listed on 11/27/2000 and was amended to include the Hayfield Garden in July of 2024.
