This year’s hunt takes place in the Corbin Park Historic District, which originally served as Spokane’s fairgrounds and racetrack in the late 1800s. Locate the ten architectural clues scattered throughout the Corbin Park Historic District, then enter to win one of our historic experience prizes. Since this year’s hunt is situated around Corbin Park, we’re not giving you the clues in any particular order – that would be too easy! You’re going to have to really look at the clue photos and each house as you walk the park…we don’t just give these prizes away – you have to work for them!
There are also three bonus clues for properties located within Spokane County. In a play-off of the Mid-Century Modern release every week on our Facebook page and our new website, the county properties are all designed and built in the 1950s and 60s. These clues are extra challenging and are for hardcore history buffs and architecture lovers!
You have until May 31st to complete the hunt! One entry per person, please, but each prize is good for you and a guest! Happy Hunting!

A Private Tour of the Dill House – Constructed in 1941, the Dill House is situated on a sheer cliff overlooking Spokane and the nearby northern mountain peaks.
