The Trumbull-White house has a storied history. It was originally built by architect George
Bottler for William and Pearl Trumbull in the Colonial revival style. William Trumbull was one of the first auto
dealers in Spokane. Pearl Trumbull
attempted successfully to make Spokane "Lilac City" and was one of
the founders of the Spokane Lilac Parade.
Between the 1940s
and 1960s, the house was occupied by Dr. Elizabeth White, who was one of
Spokane's early female medical doctors.
Her life as a civic leader and president of the Deaconess Hospital was
an inspiration to many Spokanite women and men alike.
{still trying to find anything on this house. Not much info out there}
