This is a vernacular bungalow scheme with some Queen Anne detailing. The structure’s integrity has been compromised by modifications to the siding and alterations at the entry porch.
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. The structure is located in a portion of the Central Area also known as the East Madison district.
A complete permit history, and a complete record of ownership and occupation have not yet been prepared for this property.

| Appearance |
The windows and doors are characterized by patterns and details customarily associated with Queen Anne architecture; however, the form of the house appears to be based on a vernacular version of bungalow typology.
This house was built in 1900 according to both 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 prior to 1937; however, the extent of the work undertaken and the date of the work is not indicated.
The original half-light entry door has been replaced with a newer door of similar design. The original drop siding was replaced or covered with concrete/asbestos shakes in the 1950s. The original wood porch railing has more recently been replaced with a lighter wood railing. |
