This detailed small Tudor Revival house was designed in 1930 for Wiliam Hendrickson, by Albert A. Geiser. While Queen Anne has many Tudor residences from this period, this is notable for its decorative brickwork and detailing. Hendrickson was a carpenter, and may have built the house himself on speculation. Geiser designed a number of houses and small apartment buildings on Queen Anne, including several on Bigelow Avenue North. The first known owners were Orren Brooks, a clerk, and his wife Mary. They lived here from approximately 1932 until the 1970s. The current owner has been here since that time.

| Appearance |
| This house has a gable-front-and-wing form, with the entry at the center. The main volume has a hiped roof, with a hipped dormer on the front. The primary cladding is multicolored brick, with dark green glazed bricks accenting the red. The dormer is clad with wood shingles and has three four-light leaded casement windows. The small entry porch has a tall gabled roof, with the entry through a round arch; the oak door is also arched. The gabled wing has three 10-light leaded glass windows on the first floor; similar windows are found on the other side of the entry. The gable end has decorative brickwork with half-timbering detail, painted red. On the second story, a pair of diamond-pane casement windows are set in a blind arch trimmed in stucco. The south elevation has a secondary entry with a stoop sheltered by a hood. |
