Raise a glass to Spokane’s retail story with a pint glass inspired by The Crescent Department Store. The business opened as Spokane Dry Goods Company on West Riverside Avenue on August 5, 1889, just after the Great Fire, and became a familiar part of downtown life. Its promise to “be fair to everyone” and its long history of expansion make this piece a thoughtful pick for local-history enthusiasts, former shoppers, and anyone who remembers the Crescent name.
The Crescent began as the Spokane Dry Goods Company in Spokane, Washington. Its original store on West Riverside Avenue opened on August 5, 1889, one day after the Great Fire destroyed much of downtown. Owners Robert B. Paterson and James M. Comstock kept prices steady during the recovery, establishing the motto “be fair to everyone.” The store became Spokane’s leading department store. Construction of its downtown building began in 1917 under architect Loren L. Rand and continued through 1919; later expansions enlarged it, including the 1949 purchase of the adjacent Alexander Building and a final addition in 1973. The chain opened its first suburban store at Northtown Mall in 1959 and another at University City in Spokane Valley in 1969. Chicago-based Marshall Field & Company purchased The Crescent in 1962. In 1982, BATUS Retail Group acquired the chain along with its parent, Marshall Field’s. Four Oregon stores were sold to The Crescent in 1987 and then to Lamonts in 1988. BATUS sold The Crescent and Frederick & Nelson in 1986; the Crescent stores took the Frederick & Nelson name in 1988. Frederick & Nelson entered bankruptcy and liquidated in 1992. The former downtown Spokane store is now Crescent Court, with retail stores and offices.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
