Campbell & Bissell PLLC, a Spokane law firm specializing in construction law, has moved to the historic Corbet-Aspray House on the lower South Hill, and renovations are under way to restore the structure and convert it to a multitenant office building, says Richard Campbell, firm co-founder and principal.

The Corbet-Aspray House, at 820 W. Seventh, has three stories and a basement level, with a combined total of 8,200 square feet of floor space, Campbell says.

Campbell & Bissell occupies the first and second floors of the structure, having moved there recently from leased quarters in the Symons Block, at 7 S. Howard. The structure, which is listed on the national and Spokane historic registers, is undergoing repairs and improvements, he says.

"Just to move in now, we rewired and updated the electrical system. The hardwood floors are refinished, and we gutted the basement and put in a drain system," Campbell says, adding, "Over time, there are a lot of things we want to restore to their original condition."

Campbell declines to disclose costs for restoring and improving the structure. Spokane County Assessor's Office records show that Cambiss Ventures LLC, headed by Campbell and fellow law firm co-founder and principal Michael Bissell, bought the property last month for $450,000. Kevin Edwards, an agent with Spokane commercial real estate brokerage Hawkins Edwards Inc., handled the purchase.

Campbell & Bissell has five attorneys and a support staff of two people. Campbell says the firm's new home provides room for it to grow.

The Corbet-Aspray House was designed and built in 1908 by renowned architect Kirtland K. Cutter, whose numerous historic designs include the Davenport Hotel in downtown Spokane and Lake McDonald Lodge in Glacier National Park.

The mansion is named for original owners James and Ruth Corbet, and later owners Dr. Melvin and Grace Aspray. James Corbet was a Spokane mortgage banker, and Melvin Aspray was one of Spokane's first physicians to specialize in radiology.
