19. Eligibility – criteria C
The building at 444 W Cataldo, although poorly maintained, conveys a distinctive form and is characteristic of industrial buildings of its late-1920s period.
As evidenced by the signature of the wood forms on the front and west facades, the building is an early example of poured-in-place concrete construction in Spokane.
The reinforced concrete post and beam and clear span steel truss structure -- that allow a wide-open garage floor -- are also relatively rare for 1920s Spokane.
The symmetry and detailing of the multi-light steel sash windows, and the glazed terra cotta block parapet add a rich texture to the formed concrete.
