This is a simple example of Queen Anne -- Cottage architecture with applied spindlework. The structure’s design integrity has been somewhat compromised by replacement of several of the original windows and alterations to the entry porch and basement.
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 irregular floor plan, the complex roof combining a hipped element with intersecting cross gables, and the original fenestration, combined with the turned post at the entry porch and the wood filigree in the peak of the front facing gable identify this structure as an example of Queen Anne cottage design.
The basement appears to have been remodeled. The original windows in the west (street facing) elevation have been removed and replaced with fixed glass. The entry door appears to have been replaced. Basement windows have been added. The cladding has been patched in a few places. The original wood entry stairs have been removed and replaced with concrete stairs; stair railings have been added.
