Historic Name: Common Name: Style: Queen Anne, Vernacular Neighborhood: Central Area Built By: Year Built: 1903   Significance This is an example of Queen Anne detailing applied to a gable-front vernacular structure. The structure’s design integrity has been somewhat compromised by enclosure of the original inset 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.
