Then & Now: Howard Street
Be sure and GET FLASH...
When we first saw this color photo of Howard Street from the 1950's we were mesmerized (ok, maybe pretty impressed). The signage for this strip of downtown is great, and gives the viewer an indication of happenin' downtown Spokane during the midst of the flight to the suburbs. Back then the Couer d' Alene was a hotel in Spokane and not, well, Couer d' Alene . Waiting to catcha train at Union Station? Why not pass the time at the Donkey Room Lounge.
The resolution is not the greatest, but we hope you enjoy!
Great old photo. The only problem with the new photo you are showing is that is not Post street. I am fairly certain that is Howard street. Nice old picture though!

Winston-You're absolutely right. Thanks for pointing that out. Not sure how we could have missed that one with the Rookery sitting right there. (blush).
