Constructed in 1912, the Edwidge Apartment Building is significant for its construction during the city's most significant period of growth, 1900 to 1910. Originally built in 1903 as the Riverside Apartments, the building was rebuilt as the Edwidge in 1912 after a fire devastated the original property. The building represents the residential movement beyond the city's central business district to adjacent neighborhood districts and beyond. Around 1900, apartment buildings, as a distinct multi-family housing type, began appearing in downtown Spokane, and moved to the edges of the business core and into Browne's Addition and the lower South Hill. Many apartment buildings during this time, such as the Edwidge, appealed to middle to upper class residents. The Edwidge Apartment building is an excellent example of the Renaissance Revival style, popular in Spokane from the late 1800s to 1930.
