A tour of historic South Hill homes

 

Some of Spokane’s most historically prominent homes and gardens, located along Sumner Avenue and Cliff Drive on the South Hill, will be open for public tours on Saturday.

The tour, presented by the Friends of the Moore-Turner Heritage Gardens, will cost $15 and will run from noon to 4 p.m.

The featured homes, constructed between 1908 and 1941, can be found at 503 W. Sumner, 603 W. Sumner, 726 W. Sumner and and 708 W. Cliff Drive.

The home at 503 W. Sumner was designed by noted architect Kirtland Cutter in the Tudor Revival style, according to preservation consultant Linda Yeomans. The other homes include Cliff Aerie, the 13,000-square-foot home of Sen. C.C. Dill on Cliff Drive, the Storybook style Crommelin home at 603 W. Sumner and the Colonial Revival Lambert home at 726 W. Sumner.

“Some of these homes have never been open to the public so this is a rare chance to see some of Spokane’s finest,” Yeomans said in a news release.

Tickets for the tour are available the day of the event only at the participating homes. Proceeds will help support the Moore-Turner Heritage Gardens, which are listed on the local, state and national historic registers and are part of the Marycliff/Cliff Park National Register Historic District.
