From the Archives: Building of Expo '74
Take a look back at the building of Expo '74. In 1972 plans were made to demolish the aging depot and remove the rails to make way for Expo '74. But they saved the elegant tower, which stands 155 feet tall and has a hand-wound four-sided clock. Burlington Northern donated the land and the tower, which, according to a brass plaque on its side, “stands as a monument to the railroad industry and its role in the development of Spokane and the Pacific Northwest.”
