A Historic Setting: The 1917 Spheir Building

When completed in 1917, the D. H. Spheir Building was one of Bend’s largest commercial buildings. It was upscale and urban, with retail store space on the lower level and modern apartments upstairs. The cost of construction was an astronomical $30,000 in the day. Businesses have come and gone in the last 100+ years, and the building was in desperate need of a facelift. Some have called Domaine Serene's restoration the "most beautiful in Central Oregon".
