This is a fairly typical example of the Shingle style applied to a vernacular structure utilizing national folk housing typology exhibiting a high degree of integrity despite the replacement (in kind) of much of the shingle siding.
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 is a one-and-a-half story, clapboard and shingle clad, wood frame single-family residence on a concrete foundation, over a half basement. The porch appears to be built on a post and beam foundation. The rectangular plan is capped by a side gable roof with no overhang at the rake but moderate overhangs and enclosed soffits elsewhere. A hip roofed dormer stands in the middle of the street elevation.
The windows and doors are characterized by patterns and details customarily associated with Queen Anne era housing. Some limited banding of the windows suggests the Shingle style or early twentieth century work. The flush shingle siding at the overhanging gables and the shingle siding curving into recessed window openings at the gables are both signature features of the Shingle style.
This house was built in 1903 according to the King County Property Record Card; however, the King County GIS Center Property Report indicates the structure was completed in 1901.
There have been minor alterations to the entry stairs. The shingle siding appears to have been replaced in kind.
