The Desmet Avenue Warehouse Historic District is a 2 acres (0.81 ha) historic district in the Logan neighborhood just outside the city center of Spokane, Washington which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The listing includes six contributing properties,[2] two of which have subsequently been demolished.[3] The district was notable for its tight collection of early-20th century structures over just two city blocks that all served like purposes.[2] Of the four remaining structures, only one is still used for a purpose similar to what it was built to serve. The two easternmost structures are now part of the Gonzaga University campus, which surrounds the eastern half of the district to the north, east and south.[4]
