It was deemed "significant due to its architectural stature as an industrial property type of good integrity representing the West Central neighborhood, its association with commercial development in the area, and its connection to persons important to the commercial development of Spokane. The Washington Broom Factory is the oldest industrial building in the area and retains a higher level of integrity than most nearby buildings of historic vintage."[2]
