Mansion Lends A Look Back

Fri., Aug. 25, 1995

For a few days, visitors to the Corbin Mansion in Spokane can to envision how it looked when it was built in 1898 by noted Spokane architect Kirtland K. Cutter.

The Corbin Art Center Guild is bringing the past alive by recreating turn-of-the-century room settings in the Corbin Mansion and by presenting the history of interior design in a gala event, the “Period Showcase: A Vignette of Early 20th-Century Interiors.”

Period-piece furnishings and accessories, provided by several Inland Northwest businesses, will be set in the rooms of the mansion for a fund-raising tour. Proceeds will be used to further restore the Corbin Mansion.

Furnishings will be provided by Ennis Fine Furniture, Joel Inc., La Maison Fabrics and the Carnegie Square Antique Stores, Spears Furniture, the Trade Center, Blanton-Blue Design Associates, Captured Interiors and Victorian Treasures. Items showcased are available for purchase.
