Could not find a whole lot of info on this place. It overlooked the Spokane River Upper Falls and was located near the corner of Bridge and Lincoln. It was owned by David L. Cohen, who also owned the Polynesia in Seattle. Construction on this place was supposed to start in the fall of 1962, when it was stated it would be delayed until Spring of 1963, but actually didn't start until the fall of 1964. It was being built at a cost of $350,000 and Raymond Peck was the architect. At the time of this photo, it was slated for completion on March 1, 1965, but who knows if that actually happened. In the photo you can see the A frames lying on the ground. Anyone got any other images?
