| Description: | Around 1905, Amasa and Grace Campbell purchased this iris-pattern sterling tea service from Shreve & Company in San Francisco. They displayed it atop their mahogany dining room serving table. The Campbell family built their Spokane home in 1898 and lived there until 1924. The home became a general museum in 1926 and operates today as a restored and furnished historic site, open regularly to the public. |
