Cambern Dutch Shop Windmill

The Cambern Dutch Shop Windmill is a commercial building in Spokane, Washington, designed to resemble a Dutch windmill. The structure features a rectangular shop at its base and an octagonal tower on top with four fixed blades, all constructed from wood with sloping rooflines.

The building was designed in 1929 by architect Charles Wood and built by the Cambern brothers, who had operated a dairy and bakery wholesale business since 1924, as a direct sales outlet. Following the Great Depression, the windmills changed ownership multiple times, yet this Spokane structure became an enduring landmark, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

The building reflects a Dutch cultural identity through its name and design, connecting to the bakery and dairy traditions the Cambern brothers sought to establish. The fixed windmill form with its blades remains a visual symbol today, evoking traditional craftsmanship and agricultural heritage.

The building stands at 1102 S. Perry Street in Spokane's South Perry District, within the East Central neighborhood, on a commercial stretch serving both nearby and wider neighbourhoods. The address on Perry Street makes it straightforward to locate on foot. As of 2022 the premises house Lorien Herbs and Natural Foods, so the interior is a working shop rather than a monument.

The building at 1102 S. Perry was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, sixty years after its 1929 construction. Since 2022 it has housed Lorien Herbs and Natural Foods, so the former dairy outlet now serves as a grocery in the South Perry District.
