Nettleton's Addition Historic District

Nettleton's Addition Historic District makes up a significant portion of the residential area of Spokane's West Central neighborhood. Originally platted in 1887, 76% of the residential properties in the district were built between 1900 and 1912.[2]
The district has played a large role in the streetcar-era of Spokane, and also reflects the typical lifecycle of American cities of rapid development, slow decline, and urban renewal.[3]

The Gustav Meese Building, a factory building from 1905, is also listed in the National Register, and is the oldest surviving industrial building in the area.
