This house retains enough integrity to illustrate the distinctive characteristics of a vernacular interpretation of the Queen Anne style. It is important because it enhances our knowledge of vernacular architecture and residential development in Seattle and because it contributes to the historic streetscape.
This house does not seem to appear on the 1893 Sanborn Map but does appear in a well-developed block on the 1904-1905 Sanborn. Mary Bayes filed for ownership of this proerpty in 1938.
