Comstock Elementary School
W. 620 33rd Avenue
Built in 1956, Comstock School was named for early Spokane entrepreneur James Comstock, who was responsible for the circa 1889 Comstock Dry Goods warehouse building on South Lincoln Street. With partners, Comstock then developed the dry goods business into the Crescent Department Store in a different building in downtown Spokane. In honor of James Comstock’s memory, the Comstock family built and developed Comstock Park, pools, and playgrounds. In 1977, Comstock School was moved to 63rd Avenue & Regal Street on Browne’s Mountain, and is now known as Mullan Road Elementary School. Some of the graduates in Lewis & Clark High School’s Graduating Class of 1968 previously attended Comstock School.
