Built in 1910 for Spokane banker and real estate broker Harry L. Richardson, the Richardson-Seehorn House at 731 S. Lincoln Street serves as an excellent example of the American Foursquare style. Founded by a group of architects in Chicago, the American Foursquare style was spread widely by house pattern books and popular magazines, and was commonly built in early 20th-century suburbs across the country. Characteristics of the American Foursquare style include a low-pitched hipped roof, widely overhanging eaves, a symmetrical facade, and full width front porch, all of which can be observed on the Ricardson-Seehorn property. A decade after its construction, Harry L. Richardson sold the property to Mildred and Frank C. Seehorn. By 1925, Frank Seehorn was president and general manager of Seehorn Transfer and Storage Company. Frank helped build and develop the family company founded by his father Billy Seehorn in 1887. Beginning as an early Spokane hauling business with wagons pulled by a team of horses, the Seehorns built their business into one of the most successful and longest-running transfer and storage enterprises in the Spokane area and laid claim to the first and largest furniture van in early Eastern Washington.
