The Dr. John and Viola Phillips House and Office, at S. 337 Spokane Ave. in Newport, Washington, is a historic house built in 1914. It includes Bungalow/craftsman architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 19.[1]
It was deemed significant for association with "pioneer"-era physician Dr. John Phillips and wife Viola, a registered nurse, who together served Newport from an office portion of this house, and also for its architecture. It is "a representative example" of a Craftsman-style bungalow. It was a work of local architect/engineer Harold A. Sewell and is well preserved.[2] Dr. Phillips served Newport for 25 years, 13 in this house. Earlier he had bought an open-sided Mitchell automobile in 1907, the first car in Newport, which he used to rescue residents and help fire fighters during a major fire, the "Big Smoke", in 1910 (Great Fire of 1910?).[2]
