Tetsuzo Terao Near His Home on Cowley Street

Description

Many Japanese Americans living in Spokane who could afford a house in the first half of the 20th century, purchased homes on the lower South Hill east of Division Street. These neighborhoods were amongst those where families of color were not barred from ownership based on redlining or restrictive housing covenants. The Terao house was located on the 500th block of South Cowley Street.
