Significance |
|
This is a good example of American Foursquare architecture with Queen Anne - Free Classic detailing. Although the porch has been modified, it retains its character defining details, and the remainder of the structure exhibits a high degree of historical 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 a complete record of ownership and occupation have not yet been prepared for this property.

Appearance |
This is a two story, clapboard clad, wood frame duplex on a concrete foundation, over a three-quarter basement. The front porch appears to have been built on a post and beam foundation that has since been replaced with concrete.
The rectangular plan of this Queen Anne foursquare is capped by a hip roof with open soffits, suggesting a slight Craftsman influence on the design.
The King County Property Record Card suggests that the house was moved to this site in 1919.
The "new" concrete porch foundation replaced the original porch foundation, and the heavy porch railing was added, at some point after 1937
