The Cornelius House, a historically significant mid-century modern residence. Built in 1952, designed by Royal McClure, architect. McClure graduated from Harvard in the 1940s and is known for designing many significant modern buildings in the Northwest. The Cornelius House is unmolested and in original condition. Classic post & beam construction, with floor-to-ceiling windows and high clerestory windows to provide ample natural light. Original cork flooring in main living area. Four bedrooms and two baths. Commanding view north across Spokane. Double lot with 13,500 sq. ft. Large two car garage. A two-owner home with the first owner building it and occupying it for almost 65 years. It has been kept in original condition by the current owner. This is an exceedingly rare opportunity to acquire a pedigreed, historic home with documentation and architectural plans from the time of original construction in 1952.
