Excellent exterior integrity

The 1921 Salvation Army Building served itinerant men and boys for 60 years and doubled as the single-occupancy Red Shield Hotel. Now serving Italian food, Luigi’s offers a long menu with lots of choices, including cioppino and smoked salmon lasagna. The restaurant also has a lengthy list of wines by the glass, including Spokane selections.
