Jim Kershner The Spokesman-Review
A huge new project was announced for downtown: The Davenport Hotel.
Stockholders announced they planned to build a $2 million, 14-story hotel covering the entire city block where Davenport’s Restaurant currently stood, between Sprague and First avenues.
And this was not going to be any run-of-the-mill hotel. It would have 406 rooms, “370 of which will connect with baths.” Louis M. Davenport, who announced the project, said he planned to make the building “the last word in hotel construction.”
The architectural firm of Cutter & Malmgren had already been engaged, and the front page of The Spokesman-Review contained an architectural drawing that looked nearly identical to today’s building.
Despite the grand nature of the hotel, Davenport said he planned on charging “popular prices,” because he believed the traveling public should be protected from “exorbitant charges.” He estimated completion in 10 months.

Sandy Weill’s About-Face on Big Banks
Sandy Weill, the man who created the mammoth financial combination of Citicorp and Travelers, has had a change of heart. “What we should probably do is go and split up investment banking from banking, have banks be deposit takers, have banks make commercial loans and real estate loans, have banks do something that’s not going to risk the taxpayer dollars, that’s not too big to fail,” Weill told CNBC this morning.
