Hutton Settlement District is a historic district near Spokane, Washington. It was first listed on the NRHP in 1976 as Hutton Settlement. It had 15 acres with 12 contributing buildings and 4 contributing structures.[1] It was expanded by 304 acres and renamed in 1994.[1][2][3]

History

The Hutton Settlement is an orphanage institution founded and endowed by mining magnate Levi W. Hutton in 1919. Following much research and a nationwide tour of orphanages for inspiration on the best orphanage design and organizational structure, a settlement on a 111-acre plot was designed to function as a working farm with an administration building and four “cottages” on the campus. As an orphan himself, “Daddy Hutton” as he became known, took a great interest in all aspects of the Settlement and was very involved in the planning, building, administration, and operation of the facilities until his death in 1928.[4]
