A complete permit history and record of ownership and occupation have not yet been prepared for this property; however, the house appears to have been owned by Diamone Levy from about 1927 until at least 1937. C. Bundridge appears to have acquired the property in 1961. The property changed hands in an estate settlement between Robert and Suleiman Bundridge in 1994.The current owner, Tracy McMillan, appears to have purchased the house in 2002.

Appearance
This is a one-and-a-half story, clapboard and shingle clad, wood frame single-family residence on a stone foundation over a full basement. The moderately sloped, side gable roof, and full width porch, and paired classical porch columns are all elements associated with the “free classic” variant of the Queen Anne style, although the simple roof form with side gables and centered, front facing dormer is more often associated with colonial revival work.

The house was built in 1901 (King County Property Record Card and King County Assessor Property Characteristics Report 7/29/08). The Property Record Card indicates that the house has been remodeled but does not provide a date; there are no obvious changes visible from the street.
