This house is one of a cohesive row of early 20th century vernacular dwellings built in 1908 and 1909 by Z. A. Harrison. The houses are important as a unit because they enhance our knowledge of residential development in Seattle and the evolution of vernacular architecture. This house contributes to the historic streetscape of the north side of the 200 block of 17th Avenue South.
According to tax records, R. A. Long acquired this house in 1927.

| Appearance |
| This vernacular house is a variation of 202 17th Avenue South and an expression fo the Craftsman style. Its slightly flared eaves, however, are not open and there are no exposed rafter ends. This house has a hipped roof with hipped dormers on each elevation. The inset corner porch has been enclosed and window modifications further compromise the original character of the house. |
