This month’s video features the Nevada Heights Neighborhood. Did you know that Nevada Heights was originally known as Lidgerwood Park after John and Harriet Lidgerwood, who purchased and subdivided the land, which was developed beginning in 1889?
Other early developers were Patrick and Ida Byrne and Chester and Beatrice Glass. Byrne and Glass Parks still bear their names today.
Well, if you didn’t know, now you know!
Here’s news you can use.
Looking for something fun to do while learning more about Spokane neighborhoods? Attend Lilac City Live on Thursday, April 17, 7 p.m. at Central Library.
