The Ridpath Hotel is a complex in Spokane, Washington that is comprised of four buildings – the Ridpath Tower (completed in 1952), the Halliday Building (completed 1964), the Y Building (completed 1906), and the Executive Court building (completed in 1963). The Ridpath Tower, the main portion of the hotel was designed by San Francisco architect Ned Hyman Abrams and is the second iteration of the Ridpath Hotel, after the original building was destroyed by fire in 1950.
History
The Ridpath Hotel was established by Colonel William Ridpath, with its original building opened in 1900. The first building suffered through two fires, the first in 1902 (and was subsequently restored), and another in 1950 which damaged the building beyond repair.[2] The original hotel was demolished and a new 12-story tower was constructed in its place, which opened in 1952.
