Patsy Clark Family, Part 8 of Many, 1920s

Patsy Clark Family, Part 8 of Many

The only thing I have found for this decade are city directories.  It shows Patrick W. living with his mother Mary Clark at her mansion/home until 1926, when Patrick rented an apartment -- C10 -- at the Westminster Apartments on Pacific Avenue.  Mary lived there with him until she died.

1925 Spokane City Directory

Here we find Mary at her home, Patrick renting from her.

We also find an entry for Clark Brothers and Klein, with A.C. Klein as president, dealing in real estate from 216 Symons building.

1926

Spokane City Directory

Mary Clark and Patrick W. Clark, 2208 2nd Avenue

1926 Spokane City Directory

Here we again find Mary R. (widow of Patrick F) living at her home West 2208 2nd Avenue

Patrick W. Clark, who is in mining, rents from the same place.

Interesting to note that in Patrick W Clark's obituary in 1940, it indicates that Mary had sold the house in 1926.  They may have sold it after this was printed.  Let's look at next years' directory.

1929

Spokane City Directory

Patrick W. Clark West 2301 Pacific Avenue, apartment C10, with Mary Clark

Patrick W Clark 1929 Mary W 2301 Pacific Ave apt C10
1929 Spokane City Directory

Okay, it may have been sold in 1926, but after that years' directory was printed.  I don't have anything from 1927 nor 1928, but we see in this 1929 directory that Patrick rents apartment C10, West 2301 Pacific Avenue.  These were the Westminster Apartments.  Mary R., widow of Patrick J., lives in the same apartment.

We also find the address for Clark Brothers and Klein, with A.C. Klein president, again dealing in real estate from the 216 Symons building.
