===== Residential ===== [[File:Patsy_Clark_House_(Spokane,_WA)_(2877645119).jpg|thumb|right|alt=The Patsy Clark Mansion in Browne's Addition|[[Patsy Clark Mansion]] in Browne's Addition]] As an early affluent Spokane neighborhood, the Browne's Addition neighborhood and residences contain the largest variety of residential architecture in the city.<ref name="BA" /> These residences are lavish and personalized, featuring many architectural styles that were popular and trendy in the Pacific Northwest from the late 19th century to 1930, such as the Victorian and Queen Anne styles.<ref>{{cite web |title=Historic Districts of Spokane: Browne's Addition Historic District |url=http://properties.historicspokane.org/district/?DistrictID=18 |access-date=November 3, 2014 |publisher=City β County of Spokane Historic Preservation Office}}</ref> In high demand following his firms' design of the [[Idaho Building (Chicago World's Fair)|Idaho Building]] at the [[World's Columbian Exposition|Chicago World's Fair]] in 1893, Cutter found work constructing many mansions for mining and railroad tycoons such as [[Patsy Clark Mansion|Patrick "Patsy" Clark]] and Daniel C. Corbin and son Austin.<ref>Stratton (2005), pp. 167β173</ref> The older neighborhoods of the early 20th century, such as West Central, East Central, [[Logan, Spokane|Logan]], Hillyard, and much of the lower South Hill, feature a large concentration of American Craftsman style [[bungalow]]s. In Hillyard, the most architecturally intact neighborhood in Spokane, 85 percent of these buildings are historic.<ref>{{cite news |date=September 20, 2001 |title=Historic Hillyard |url=http://www.spokesmanreview.com/news-story.asp?date=092001&ID=s1026394 |access-date=November 2, 2014 |newspaper=The Spokesman-Review}}</ref> As the city expanded mainly to the north in the middle of the 20th century, the bungalows in the "minimal traditional" style commonplace from the 1930s to the 1950s tend to predominate in the Northwest, North Hill, and [[Bemiss, Spokane|Bemiss]] neighborhoods. This architectural style occupies the neighborhoods where the integrity of Spokane's street grid pattern is largely intact (especially the areas north of downtown and south of Francis Ave.), and the houses have backyard [[alley]]s for carports, deliveries, and refuse collection. Contemporary suburbs and architecture are prevalent at the north and south edges of Spokane as well as in the new Kendall Yards neighborhood north of downtown.<ref>{{cite news |last=McLean |first=Mike |date=January 14, 2010 |title=Greenstone to jump-start urban project |url=http://www.spokanejournal.com/local-news/greenstone-to-jump-start-urban-project |access-date=November 24, 2014 |publisher=Spokane Journal of Business}}</ref>
