The Wharton Building was designed in a neoclassical style, typical of commercial buildings constructed during the early 1900s. It features a strong, symmetrical facade with classic details such as large windows, stonework, and decorative elements that were characteristic of its time. The building’s brick exterior, along with its prominent corner location, allows it to stand out as a well-preserved example of early 20th-century commercial architecture. The preservation of its historic character, while incorporating modern amenities, makes the Wharton Building a valuable asset to Spokane’s downtown landscape.
