Built in 1892, the Genesee Block, named for reasons unknown, is one of the earliest and last remaining commercial buildings from the 1890s in Spokane's downtown commercial core.  A two story, commercial brick building, possessing some Romanesque Revival stylistic features, the Genesee Block has been in continuous operation for over 120 years. The commercial structure has housed a variety of Spokane businesses over the years including, to name but a few, the Fred T. Merrill Cycle Company in 1895, Staples Candies in 1910, Barlett's Women's Clothing in 1915 and CE Carlson Company Furs by 1929. Interestingly, a cork-lined room used by Carlson for storing furs still exists in the basement.
