This is an example of Craftsman architecture. The structure’s design integrity has been slightly compromised by alterations.
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 1906. According to the King County Property Record Card, this structure was remodeled in 1922.
The moderate roof slope, wide overhangs, exposed rafter tails and heavy built up piers at the porch(es) are indicative of early Craftsman design; however, the windows are not ganged but instead placed in a pattern more suggestive of Queen Ann work.
The extent of alterations appears limited, however, the front porch cannot easily be observed from the public right-of-way and it is possible that it has been enclosed or modified. A dormer window appears to have been replaced at the east elevation. A new door appears to have been installed at the west elevation. The tops of the chimneys have been altered.
