|
This is a fairly typical example of a Workingman's Foursquare structure with Craftsman detailing exhibiting a high degree of design integrity despite some minor 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 |
The rendering of the west elevation, featuring corner bays, gives the structure the appearance of a foursquare design; however, the structure has a bungalow footprint and Craftsman detailing. The large cottage style windows may be residual elements of Queen Anne design.
This house was built in 1906.
The large cottage type window facing the street at the northwest corner of the house appears to have been replaced in kind but without divided lights in the upper sash. The side walls at the entry stair have been altered. The exposed rafter tails are hidden by an added gutter system.
