Arbor Crest pool
Ah the good life. Its easy to imagine what it was like when the original owners lived here. Perched 450 feet above the Spokane River valley, Royal Newton Riblet established this now historic Spokane landmark in 1924. An inventor and mechanical innovator, Riblet not only developed a variety of patented devices, including a square-wheel tractor, pattern sprinkler system and mechanical parking garage, he was also the chief engineer and designer of his beautiful home and estate. At the time of its construction in the early 1920s, it was among the most “wired” homes in the nation.
