Hi....my boyfriend was born in Spokane in 1947.....I asked him about this and he said there were two hotels in downtown Spokane that he recalls....The Davenport Hotel in which he *thinks* the dining room was called "The Matador Room" and then there was The Ridpath Hotel...but he can't recall the name of the dining room. mary lou -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 27 Apr 2007 9:06 AM Subject: Re: [WASPOKAN] hotel in Spokane 1940s?
