The Crescent Building

The Crescent Building has a long and loved history from when it Spokane's department store. (Mike Prager)

Madeleine’s

The 1919 Crescent Building is unusual for department store design because of the use of windows on all seven floors. The show windows were once a popular place for their Christmas displays. Escalators installed in 1948 were a sensation.

Madeleine’s occupies the northeast corner and serves pasteries as well as French-inspired dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Red Robin and the Melting Pot restaurants and a Starbuck’s shop occupy spaces in the annex building on the west end of the block.
