One of Spokane's oldest treasures, the Patsy Clark Mansion, is once again opening
its doors to the public.
Patsy Clark’s is now available for private catered events including receptions,
small luncheons, dinner parties, and weddings (both indoor and outdoor).
Purchased in 2002, the law firm of Eymann Allison Hunter Jones P.S. "rescued"
the mansion from further deterioration, helping to preserve this historic Spokane
landmark.
This turn of the century mansion will once again host the elegant parties, lavish
weddings, and celebratory festivities for which it was envisioned. The individual
character and charm of the rooms lend itself to parties and gatherings of many sizes
and reasons.
Kirtland Cutter, the renowned 19th century architect, was told to spare no expense
in designing the home of mining magnate Patrick “Patsy” Clark in 1898. Pictures
and words cannot begin to reveal the minute detail and architectural craftsmanship
given this beautifully restored mansion.
The mansion was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
Library
The Library was designed in Roman décor with Roman style lights, book cases with
Roman pillars, and chariots. The room has a beamed ceiling and a massive fireplace
with a façade of onyx and a gold leaf mirror above the mantle.
Chinese Gameroom
The Chinese Game room features Chinese/Moorish architecture. When the mansion
operated as a fine dining establishment, President George H.W. Bush joined then
Speaker of the House Thomas Foley for dinner in this room.
Foyer
At the height of construction, 75 carpenters were employed to work on the interior
of the home. The foyer and open staircase are lasting reminders of the exquisite
craftsmanship of the era. From the foyer you can marvel at the Tiffany stained
glass windows featuring a feathered peacock design – a motif incorporated in many
of Kirtland Cutter’s projects including Spokane’s landmark Davenport Hotel.
French room
The French room, or drawing room, is a large elegant room adorned with murals of
a French painter, Corinthian columns, and a fireplace façade of hand selected Italian
rossa marble. This room has been the setting for many elaborate weddings and
receptions.
