The Campbell House in Spokane, Washington, operates as a house museum, interpreting life at the turn of the 20th century. The house was designed by well-known Spokane architect Kirtland K. Cutter for Amasa B. Campbell (1845-1912) and his wife Grace Fox Campbell (1859-1924). The house is a picturesque English Tudor Revival exterior of stucco, sandstone, brick and heavy timbers. As in most houses in this era, the cellar or basement was a work area for servants, containing a cool room for storing foods, the furnace, and a laundry room. However, it also contained a den for the men which had its own stairway.
The Den
The Den was the only area in the house in which smoking and drinking was permitted. This was an exclusive male domain. The Den is decorated in the popular Middle Eastern style.
