Fort George Wright, Military historic district in Spokane, United States.

Fort George Wright is a former military installation set on high ground overlooking the Spokane River that now hosts educational campuses. The site features red brick buildings connected by tree-lined roads that create an orderly, open layout with significant green space throughout.

Local residents bought the land, then called Twickenham Park, in 1895 and deeded it to the government; Congress authorized the $40,000 purchase of 1,022 acres in 1896. Construction began in 1897 and the post officially opened in 1899, with most buildings erected between 1897 and 1906. The government declared the fort surplus in 1957, and part of the land was used for Spokane Falls Community College in 1960.

The buildings and their arrangement reflect how soldiers and officers once lived together within a structured military community. Walking through the district, you can observe the separation between different ranks shown through the types and locations of housing.

The grounds are open to the public with colleges occupying much of the space, making it easy to walk and explore the historic buildings at your own pace. Parking and pathways are clearly marked, allowing visitors to navigate the site without confusion.

General Omar Bradley, who would later command American military forces during World War II, served here with the 14th Infantry Regiment in 1915. His early career at this post connects the site to one of the war's most important American leaders.
