I checked it out a year or so ago. The things I remember that were not now there were the fountain in the lobby with the gold fish. The fountain was always going, and the pipe organ that was on the balcony, I think. We often went there and sat in the balcony and listened to it being played after school or when shopping downtown. It had a wonderful sound. I had my wedding dinner in the dining room there 13 July 1940.......only 8 people as it was tail end of the depression and very few could afford big weddings, etc. It was such a great hotel, I am glad it has been restored. I remember after the end of WW11, a deligation from Russia was coming to US to see some of the atomic installations. Handord, WA. was one of them, and the Russians had requested that they stay at the Davenport while in E. WA. as they had heard of it and how beautiful it was. They came. They stayed at the Davenport. It always made me feel terrible when I would visit Spokane before the restoration and see it in such terrible condition. Just a bit of my memories of a great edidice.
