Butch Cassidy house in Spokane

The house at the southwest corner of Providence Avenue and Monroe Street was once the home of William T. Phillips, a seemingly respectable local businessman – he was married with a son, owned a North Side machine shop and belonged to the Elks Temple – who in younger days may actually have ridden with Butch Cassidy’s notorious gang of bank and train robbers. Some accounts even portray Phillips as Cassidy himself, safely returned after fleeing to South America with the Sundance Kid, quietly reformed and hiding out under an alias in sleepy Spokane.
