This house is notable for its Mediterranean-influenced style, with a red tile roof and decorative brickwork. It was built in 1927, although the names of the architect and builder are not legible on the building permit. The first identified owners are Harry and Natalie Hansen (1933-1940s). There was considerable turnover in occupants in the following years, but the current owners, Charles Marks, a University of Washington professor, and his wife Sandra, have lived here since the 1970s. It contributes significantly to this neighborhood of varied but unusually stylish homes.

This house has a gable front form, with the entry in a separate gabled porch to the west of the main volume. Cladding is buff brick with darker brick edging the corners, the doors and windows, the porch and the garage opening. Roofing is red clay tile, with bargeboards and returns on the gables adding another decorative element. The enclosed entry porch has arched openings, with a small leaded casement window to the east. The main window is a large three-part sash with leaded transoms; similar windows are found on the side elevations. The house sits high above the street, with a basement garage (with newer doors) below the main front window. |
