This spacious structure always has a busy schedule of performances like plays, ballets as well as dramas, comedies and musicals. It is also the home of the Spokane Symphony. In addition to its artistic offerings, Spokane's economy is bolstered as several corporate conventions, trade shows and other business functions take place here, as well.

There is much history in this classically designed building, and you can book a tour to see not only the building itself but you will also get an interesting glimpse into the inner-workings of a daily newspaper from its offices to its presses.
