Spokane Washington's Browne's Addition
Tall, stately shade trees, quiet mansions with deep porches, trendy commercial and retail center.  This is Browne’s Addition, Spokane’s first neighborhood.  It sits at the west end of Spokane, the only residential neighborhood within easy walking distance of downtown.  Subdivided in the 1880s, the houses were built for wealthy clients in the late 1800s and early 1900s. 
Browne’s Addition is named for John J. Browne, a lawyer who settled in Spokane in the late 1800s.  He and Mr. A.M. Cannon bought 120 acres of land – which became Browne’s Addition and Cannon’s Addition (another stately residential neighborhood found on Spokane’s South Hill).
At its height, Browne’s Addition was home to many of the wealthy merchants and business owners with downtown establishments. But boom times in Browne’s Addition lasted for less than 40 years.  By the 1930s many of the mansions had been subdivided into rental units and the buildings and neighborhood were neglected.  The neighborhood suffered several decades of decline.
In 1976 Browne’s Addition was added to the National Register of Historic Places, paving the way for historic preservation incentives.  An active neighborhood council created a Browne’s Addition Design Plan, focused on revitalizing the neighborhood around its history.
