The Conrad Mansion was designed by Spokane architect, Kirtland Cutter, and was completed in 1895. The home's exterior is punctuated by arches, long gables, bay windows and massive native stone chimneys. Along with original furnishings and accessories, extensive collections include original family clothing dating from the 1880s to 1940s, and three generations of children's toys and dolls.
The home today sits on three landscaped acres, surrounded by a dry stone fence with iron gates. Six large annual flower beds and extensive ever blooming perennial beds provide constant color during the summer season, with pruned hedges, evergreens, and spacious lawns serving as a lush background. A reconstructed log and cedar gazebo strikes a whimsical note.
