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
