Designed by master architect Warren C. Heylman, the Phillips House on 611 S. Montavilla Drive is a unique example of Contemporary design. The Phillips House embodies the Modern design characteristics found in residential design at this time, regardless of the specific style, including open floor plans; an attempt to “bring the outdoors in;” a generous use of glass; the use of natural materials and finishes or alternatively, new materials; and a strong connection to the landscape. Architect Warren C. Heylman is best known for his more flamboyant commercial and institutional properties, such as the iconic Parkade Parking Garage, the Spokane International Airport, and the Riverfalls Tower. The Phillips House is more understated and is representative of his mid-20th century residential work. The house was constructed in an outlying neighborhood of late 19th century parks and cemeteries and the historic Fort George Wright, which began to be developed with residences in the post-World War II era. Today the Phillips House is one of four residences on two short, parallel streets that were designed by Warren Heylman, including his own family house, which is still extant.
