Significance |
|
This is an example of Queen Anne architecture. The structure’s design integrity has been significantly compromised by alterations, including the removal of the tower roof, the addition of new cladding, and modification or replacement of several windows.
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 house was built in 1891 according to the King County Property Record Card; 1901 according to the King County GIS Center Property Report.
The King County Property Record Card suggests that a large addition was appended to the back (east) side of the structure at an early date. Some windows have been replaced or modified. The shingle clad pyramidal roof that surmounted the tower in 1937 has been removed; the truncated tower now has a flat roof. The house is now clad with combed shingles rather than drop siding (as it was in 1937). Opening details have been altered to accommodate the replacement cladding.
