About This Home

Own a singular piece of Spokane history in this iconic downtown church, the nationally recognized birthplace of Father’s Day and a landmark of faith, service, and architectural character. Within these walls, Sonora Louise Smart Dodd’s 1909 tribute to her father helped spark a family-focused celebration that spread across the nation, giving the property a uniquely powerful story for any mission-driven owner. With approximately 33,425 square feet, including a 1962 addition with offices, classrooms, and a full gymnasium, the building offers highly adaptable space for worship, social services, education, and community events. Extensively updated with modern electrical, gas furnaces, and a recent roof—while preserving original stained glass and a classic pipe organ—this historic asset, complete with an active commercial kitchen currently serving vulnerable neighbors, is perfectly positioned as a high-impact community hub in the heart of Downtown Spokane.
