Trumbull-White House




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}
