Patsy Clark Mansion - Wedding & Event Venue

Designed by the celebrated Spokane architect, Kirtland Cutter, the 12,000 square foot, three story mansion was completed in 1897. The mansion was built for the Spokane mining millionaire Patsy Clark and his wife, Mary, who told Cutter to design the residence to be the “most luxurious mansion ever:. Cutter collected materials and furnishings for the mansion from around the world, many of which are still a part of the furnishings today. Patsy Clark lived in the mansion until his death in 1915 and his wife lived there until 1926. After being owned by investor Eugene Enloe, the house served as the Francis Lester Inn, a restaurant and event location for a period of time in the 1960’s. In 1982, the mansion become the home of Patsy Clark’s Restaurant. After the restaurant closed, the mansion was restored to its original elegance in 2003 and is now the home of the Spokane Law Firm Eymann Allison Hunter Jones P.S. The mansion is on the National Register of Historic Places. The first floor of the mansion consists of an open foyer containing the original grandfather clock custom made to include the hand carved face of Mary Clark, the drawing room with its original dining room table, buffet and painting of Patsy Clark, and the game room where President George H.W. Bush dined with Speaker of the House Tom Foley. The architecture of the mansion shows the many customized details Patsy Clark had incorporated such as the Monk carvings in the molding of the dining room, the Tiffany glass on the first floor landing, the windows reflecting the six planets rotating the sun (at the time the mansion was built, only six planets had been discovered!) and intricate hand carved wood work. Throughout the year, weddings and other events are hosted inside the mansion. It’s an intimate and quaint setting for a birthday, bridal or baby shower, ladies tea, engagement party, rehearsal dinner, or anniversary celebration.
