| Significance |
|
|
This is a simple example of Queen Anne cottage architecture. The building’s design integrity has been slightly compromised by replacement of the roof structure and by a change of use.
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 one-and-a-half story, drop siding and shingle clad, wood frame single-family residence on a post and beam foundation with no basement. The essentially rectangular plan is capped by a gable roof with narrow overhangs and enclosed soffits.
The window and doors details, and the use of slender Tuscan colonettes at the inset entry porch of this small scale structure, are all typical of vernacular work incorporating elements of Queen Anne cottage architecture and Free Classic design.
This house was built in 1903. According to the King County Property Record Card it was remodeled in 1907.
The roof structure appears to have been replaced, although the style of the roof is very close to that of the structure as it existed in 1937. There appears to have been a change of use; the structure is described as a duplex in the King County Property Record Card prepared in 1937, but apparently functions as a single family residence at present.
