Built in 1909, this building is two years older than Newport's tenure-ship as Pend Oreille County seat and four years older than Newport's city hall. Sturdily constructed of rusticated concrete blocks with smooth concrete quoins at the front corners, it is a good looking building, as well.
Included here are the town drinking fountain, a news story on this building, a National Register house, the Dr. John and Viola Phillips House, a veterans' memorial park, a cool old Corliss Steam Engine, a benchmark and a time-temp sign (different from the time-temp sign in another Lucky 7 here).
