This is an example of transitional American Foursquare architecture combining elements of late Queen Anne and early Craftsman design, and exhibiting a high degree of 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 full basement.
The rectangular plan is capped by a hipped roof with moderate overhangs and open soffits. Although the windows and doors are characterized by patterns and details customarily associated with Queen Anne design, the exposed rafter tails, and the square piers at the front porch, which bear on solid porch rails and support the hipped porch roof, are more typical of Craftsman work.
This structure was built in 1906 and remodeled in 1915, according to the King County Property Record Card. The building has functioned as a duplex since at least 1937; however, the street facade suggests single family use. It has not yet been determined if the structure was remodeled to serve as a duplex at some point after initial construction but prior to 1937, or returned to single family use more recently.
