Large kilns at Bayview produced lime from 1904 to 1932. Lime production for nearby mines and Spokane buildings began in this area as soon as rail transportation and markets became available. For 14 years after 1887, steamboats hauled lime to a Northern Pacific Railway dock at Hope. When an interurban rail connection reached Bayview in 1911, lime for cement products was exported from Bayview until an economic depression destroyed regional demand for concrete.
