| Appearance |
This is a two story, clapboard clad, wood frame single-family residence on a concrete foundation, over a full basement. The rectangular plan is capped by a hip roof with extensive overhangs, and open soffits.
The exposed rafter tails are a signature feature of the Craftsman style. However, the windows and doors are characterized by patterns and details customarily associated with Queen Anne design. The oversize column at the porch is an element borrowed from the Shingle style, while the bracketing and railing design at the front balcony give the structure a slight "Spanish Colonial" flavor.
This house was built in 1903 according to the King County Property Record Card and the King County GIS Center Property Report. According to the King County Property Record Card, the house was remodeled at some point prior to 1937; however, the date and extent of the work undertaken is not indicated.
Several of the south facing windows have aluminum frames.
