Appearance
This is the only known Indian bungalow in Seattle. It is the prototype from which some scholars say the bungalow form developed. It has a steep pyramidal roof with slightly off-center brick chimnye. The very broad over-hanging eave shelters an inset wrap-around porch supported by round columns. The partial height columns rest on handrails made of narrow siding to match the house. The house is set on a broad lawn in a pastoral setting.
