It is one of the finest examples of railroad architecture in the United States. It is one of Spokane's most important focal points, containing a one-hundred and f1fty-five foot tall tower, and being located on a small island in the Spokane River in the center of the City of Spokane. The building stands across the south river channel from a partially similar four story structure, the Union Pacific station. The two, when V1ew ed together, form a scene reminiscent of the piazza del Duomo in Italy, except for the substition of a reflecting river pool in place of the paved court. The Great Northern depot can best be described as a very fine example of the "Eclect1c School".l The tower is primar11y from the Italian Romanesque period, while the main structure is sty~ m after Sir Christopher Wren's English Renaissance which was heavily influenced by the Italian Renaissance school. m The structure is 316 feet long by 56 feet deep. It rests on a z cut granite plinth (which is purported to have been imported from England). The remainder of the facade is buff colored face brick (almost white) with granite sills, native sandstone -I trim, and metal ornamentation. The brick remains in excellent ;IQ condition, but requires steam cleaning and repointing. The roof c:: 1S clay tile, apparently in fine condition. n The clock tower gracing the structure is perhaps the most -I distinguished feature of the building. Rising over 155 feet above ground level the tower is an estab11shed member of the a Spokane skyline. The stat1stics pertaining to the clock itself z are quite impressive. The nine foot diameter clock faces made it the largest timepiece in the Pacific Northwest. The glass dials total over 1400 pounds. The zinc pendulum rod weighs nearly 500 pounds and is 8-1/2 feet in length. The total weight comes to 7050 pounds for the entire piece. The clock was placec 1n service at high noon on June 20, 1902. 1. In the 19th Century, architects split into two groups--those concerned with classical form, and those concerned with individ ual expression. The classical form group used Greek forms for their inspiration and developed the "Neo-Classic" style, t.yp ica) of government build1ngs. The ind1vidual expressionists rejec~ single styles and borrowed elements from many styles, and are now known as the "Eclectic School". \ .----=_._-- -- ---_._--- Form 10 3000 UNITED STATES DePARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 5TAll!

(Numb"r .11 "ntrlo,,) 7. Description (cont~nued) The interior consists primarily of plaster walls, ceilings and ornamentation. The ground floor level has a marble floor (now tile covered?), enameled brick wainscotting, satin finished oak cabinetry and woodwork, and leaded glazing. There has been some (very ill-advised) remodelling in the first floor area; however, it seems feas~ble to restore the area to a "near original" condi t~on without undue cost. The second and third floors were designed as open loft areas. The second floor has been divided into smaller office spaced fro its original one large room. This was done with partit~ons of wood and frosted glass. A hall runs the length of the floor di iding the space equally. The offices on the north and south side are of approximately equal sizes. The restroom is in the north east corner. The stairway from the second floor to the ground floor is in the same corner to the east of the restroom. There is another stairway in the southwest corner, serving all three floors. The third floor has also been partitioned off in the same manner as the second, but to a much lesser extent. The north side ~s mostly open as one large room. There is a small office in the northwest corner (possible 12 x 12). There is no frosted glass in the divider, which runs from east to west to divide the third floor into north and south sections. It is more like a counter or half wall. The south side is also open, and the safe in the tower structure opens directly into the room from the west face of the tower wall. There is some office space at the east end which is partitioned off by a full wood wall. This partitioning of the loft areas was probably done about opening day, and has undoubtedly been somewhat modified since then. All partitions were non-load bearing and should lend themselves to remodelling easily if desired. The nearly 100 electric arc lights illuminating the structure made it the-best lighted building in Spokane during its early years. GP09ulOez Ill.

  • History Behind GN#1355 for GNRHS Web Sight
    History Behind GN #1355 for GNRHS Website The following information is a short detail of history behind the Great Northern Railway steam engine #1355. This information is displayed on the GNRHS website, so that others may gain an appreciation for the only engine of its kind left in the world. GN #1355 is a nationally recognized historical industrial treasure. *** This information updated 2-23-09. *** October 16, 1909 – On this date, after being built at the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, PA, Engine #B1477 (#33908) coal burning radial stay boiler, was fired up and tested. It was one of 25-E14 class 4- 6-0 engines to be built by BLW, for the GN. The 25-E14’s were shipped to St. Paul, MN to the Dale St. Shops. On November 13, 1909, Dale St. GN workers fired the boiler again to test it. On November 19th it was ready after inspections and was given the number of #1020. It was a numbered series from GN that ran from #1008- 1032. #1020 was sent directly to work in the Hillyard, WA region. In August, 1919, #1020 was sent to Spokane, WA Division passenger service until Feb. 19, 1924 when it would become a future historical engine. That is the date it was rolled into the Dale St. Shops for a major rebuild. The other 24 E14’s would also become new H5 class engines in time. #1020 would be the 8th E14 to be rebuilt to an H5 4-6-2. It would receive 23.5”x 30” cylinders, Belpaire boiler at 210 psi, type “A” header super heater tubes, larger fire box, longer boiler, Delta trailing trucks, pilot wheels replaced with solid wheels, brake modifications, new paint and converted from coal fired to fuel oil fired.

  • Skykomish – a Great Northern Town and How the Railroad Built It -Twice Skykomish and Great Northern Railway 1889 – 1955
    Skykomish – A Great Northern Town and How the Railroad Built it -Twice by curt young Rev. 2 Skykomish and Great Northern Railway 1889 – 1955 Background - Railroad Terms To understand the history of Skykomish one first has to understand the biggest problem facing a railroad engineer, which is track grade. A one percent grade rises or falls one foot in 100 foot traveled. This appears flat to most people, but for a railroad the 1% grade means a loss of 74% of the traction from a perfectly flat track. This means that if an engine can pull 100 cars on a flat track, at a 1% grade it can only pull 26 cars. With a 2% grade the same engine could only pull 13 cars. The maximum grade is called the “ruling grade” as it determines the maximum load an engine can haul. So herein lies the value of Skykomish for the railroad engineer. The ruling grade from Seattle to Skykomish is 1%, and the ruling grade from Skykomish to Leavenworth is 2.2% (1929-present). So Skykomish served as a location to add helper engines to push the load east over the Cascade Mountain pass. The other major factor in track design is the radius of the curves. The larger the radius the less the wheel friction and higher potential speed. These laws of physics apply whether it is a full size railroad or a scale model track. This is mentioned so when one looks at the scale model track of the Great Northern and Cascade Railway one can see why the curves are sweeping and the grade is less than 2.2 percent.
