Commission Building – Rasher, Kingman, Herrin Co. – Spokane, WA
© Vincenzo Aiosa
The Commission Building was built for the Rasher-Kingman-Herrin Company in 1906 by local builder James M. Geraghty in the heart of Spokane’s Produce District. The company was created when Henry M. Herrin’s wholesale fruit and produce company merged with partners C.E. Kingman and Huber Rasher. The Rasher-Kingman-Herrin Co. remained until it relocated 1915. The Roundup Fisheries Company, later Roundup Grocery, occupied the Commission Building from 1919 into the 1950s, when it built a new headquarters to the east. The Commission Building also housed the Independent Grocers Association Headquarters during the 1930s. More recently, the building has been converted to condominiums. – Historic Spokane

It’s the beginning of a new love in sight…Parallels – Going For The One – Yes 1977
For me, Yes has always been not just a band but a “brand” – my “logo rock” experience. From the start, when I first listened to Close To The Edge in 1972 with the phenomenal album presentation (sonically and visually), I was instantly aware of the sound as a product. Throughout the many incarnations and line-ups – I still find live Yes to be a musically satisfying commodity even sans Anderson. Jon Davison gainly carried the evening and held his own with a heartfelt, accurate and inspired performance with the original band composers and players Steven Howe and Chris Squire – who were brilliant this evening as well. Grumbles from audience members about any of the past line-ups has always been part of the live Yes discourse as there was this evening – but I’ve been on this ride for a long time now and I’m still in. All in all, I walked away content to see the music of Yes continue. Would be interesting to see what a new CD might sound like.

Built starting in 1902 in a residential/commercial sector of Spokane’s central business district, Avondale Court is historically significant for its association with the ten years of dramatic growth that Spokane experienced during the first decade of the 20th century. Unfortunately for the owners, a mill workers’ strike in 1903 delayed the construction of the project and it took several years to complete. Meanwhile, demand for housing in Spokane skyrocketed, as population swelled from 36,848 to 104,402 between 1900 and 1910. The Spokesman-Review reported on December 19, 1903: “Spokane leads the nation in percentage of residential building construction.” – Historic Properties of Spokane
