Downtown Spokane During the Expo '74 Renovation

Aerial photograph of the Spokane riverfront amidst the renovations in preparation for Expo '74. Along the south end of Trent Avenue, the rubble from a building at the corner of Stevens Street and Trent Avenue is visible. This likely includes what once was the Great Northern Hotel, which was run by Japanese American operators for at least part of its history. Expo structures visible in the photograph include the Opera House in the lower right (as of 2024, the INB Performing Arts Center) and the Bavarian Gardens, the round foundation toward the lower left (now the Looff Carousel).
