Visible from the street; the inside is private.
Rising 219 feet above Spokane, Washington, the Old National Bank Building stands as a landmark of early twentieth-century ambition in the Pacific Northwest. Completed in 1910 by the renowned Chicago firm D. H. Burnham & Company, this Chicago School tower block was the first skyscraper in the Inland Northwest and briefly the tallest structure in Washington State. Its reign at the apex was short-lived—surpassed in 1911 by Tacoma's Key Bank Center and dramatically overshadowed in 1914 by Seattle's Smith Tower—yet it dominated Spokane's skyline until 1929, when the nearby Paulsen Medical and Dental Building finally exceeded its height. The building now operates under the name U.S. Bank Building, a testament to its enduring presence in the city's commercial core.
