Significance |
|
This is a example of small scale Queen Anne architecture, although the structure’s design integrity has been compromised replacement of most of the windows, removal of the original front porch, and modification of some siding details.
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. The King County GIS Center Property Report indicates that the house was built in 1900, but is not able to record dates earlier that that year.
There is an addition at the back of the house, though this may have appeared at an early date. The original front porch is no longer extant and the original front door has been replaced by a window. The entry appears to have been moved to the recessed side porch at the east (side) elevation. Aluminum windows have replaced the original wood windows at most of the window openings. The original siding was covered for a time by composition siding; however, the cladding appears to have been returned to its original appearance. The soffits at the roof overhangs may have recently been replaced.
