Built circa 1915, Greystone is a gracious and sweeping South Hill residence shaped by a defining moment in the Inland Northwest, when the region's mining and timber industry resources and the growing influence of Spokane converged to establish a lasting architectural legacy. Originally commissioned by Dr. Frank Fursey, a Spokane physician connected to the region's early mining economy, the home reflects an era when entertaining was an art and elegance informed daily life. Constructed of substantial 18-inch granite block, Greystone carries a quiet sense of permanence and material integrity.
The home was designed for gathering, with well-proportioned rooms that balance openness and intimacy. Original details, including quarter-sawn oak built-in cabinetry and a preserved butler annunciator, speak to its heritage, while thoughtful updates to the kitchen, en suite, and lighting support modern living. A formal dining room can be closed off for more intimate occasions, while a third-level ballroom provides additional space for hosting. Outdoors, a series of terraces and artfully composed gardens extends the living experience, complemented by trees reminiscent of standing in a cathedral, water features, a gazebo, a greenhouse, and a private labyrinth. Supported by updated systems for heating, cooling, power, and irrigation, Greystone offers modern functionality within a historic framework. Ideally located on Spokane's South Hill near Rockwood, the Perry District and Manito Park, it remains a refined and enduring expression of its time.
