Built in 1885, the Pettet House-Glasgow Lodge is one of the oldest surviving singlefamily homes in Spokane. The house is an eclectic blend of influences from the Stick and Queen Anne architectural styles and features a center two-story gable-front mass with single-story wings attached at the east and west sides of the home. Built in northwest Spokane at the north end of West Point Road as it intersects North Pettet Drive, the property spreads over more than three acres of level land and extends west to the edge of a bluff. The home was built for Caroline & William Pettet, a Spokane trailblazer, civic leader, real estate promoter, and "one of the most prominent citizens of Spokane." For 20 years from 1883 to 1903, Pettet "contributed much to the pioneer development of the city" and gave "impetus to its industrial and commercial interests.” Pettet platted multiple tracts of land in Spokane, calling one of the land additions Pettet's Tract. He helped finance and build the Spokane County Courthouse, harnessed power from Spokane Falls, founded Spokane's electric light system through the Edison Electric Illuminating Company and served as the utility company's first president, financed and organized the Washington Water Power Company (now Avista), and was honored by the use of his name for North Pettet Drive, a busy thoroughfare in northwest Spokane. Before moving to Spokane, William & Caroline Pettet lived in Bermuda, Virgin Islands, where they resided in a home which they affectionately named "Glasgow Lodge." According to family records, the Pettets used their Bermuda house as a pattern for the design of their Spokane home and called it by the same name: "Glasgow Lodge."
