The Adams House, constructed in 1914 in the First Addition to Cannon Hill,  is a well-preserved example of a one-and-a-half-story Craftsman-style bungalow. Its defining exterior features include a rectangular shape, low-pitched roof with overhanging eaves, a front gable, and a partially covered porch with massive basalt and brick tapered columns. Inside, the home showcases oak floors with decorative inlay, beamed ceilings, and built-in furniture such as bookcases and a dining buffet, all representative of the Craftsman style. Architecturally significant for its use of organic, locally sourced materials, the house was built by J. Oscar Johnson, a local contractor responsible for several homes in the neighborhood.

Fred Adams, a Stanford Law graduate and junior partner at the Davies & Adams law firm, was the first resident of the home. Elected to the Washington State House of Representatives from 1917-1921 and serving as Speaker of the House during his final two years, Adams also played a key role in the development of the Columbia Basin Project, which transformed the region’s economy. He and his wife, Winona, purchased the house in 1919 during a pivotal period in his political career.The house was found to be eligible for its association with the lives of people significant to Spokane's past (Fred Adams) as well as its architectural significance.
