Significance |
|
This is a fairly typical example of small scale Queen Anne design with fairly good design integrity.
This is one of approximately 2,200 houses that are still extant out of more than 5,000 that were built by the end of 1906 in Seattle’s Central Area, Eastlake, First Hill, Leschi, Madison Park, Madrona, and North Capitol Hill neighborhoods.
A complete permit history and record of ownership and occupation have not yet been prepared for this property.

Appearance |
This is a one-and-a-half story, clapboard clad wood frame single-family residence on a concrete foundation, over a full basement.
The steep pitch of the roof, the pent-enclosed front facing gable, the enclosed soffits, and the frieze at the top of the walls, are all elements customarily associated with the Queen Anne style. The squared, full height bays, sheltered by the moderate overhangs, appear to be original components of the structure. The long rectangular, single story form suggests the emergence of the bungalow typology.
The house was built in 1905 (King County Property Record Card; the King County GIS Center Property Report, accessed March 6, 2008, gives the date of construction as 1906). The concrete porch appears to be relatively new. The solid, clapboard clad porch railings that characterized the porch in 1937 have been removed and replaced with open lattice rails.
