The Eldridge Building at First and Cedar is a great example of commercial architecture and the automobile business. Built in 1925, the building was part of Spokane’s original auto row on First. It was designed by noted architect G. Albin Pehrson. The Rocket Bakery offers breakfast or lunch fare, coffee and other drinks and has a great selection of wine for sale.

Another Rocket Bakery outlet located in the 1905 Holly-Mason Building, 157 S. Howard, is a Renaissance-inspired brick building with intricate terra cotta detail work. It is named after the historic hardware company that originally occupied it. The renovated building was used as a temporary home for Lewis & Clark High School during renovation of the high school.
