This is an example of transitional design combining elements of Queen Anne and early Craftsman detailing on a pyramidal vernacular structure exhibiting a high degree of integrity.
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 design. However, the structure utilizes a vernacular pyramidal form. The exposed rafter tails at the hipped roofs, and the partial height built-up Tuscan piers and solid, clapboard clad railings at the nearly full width entry porch are more typical of early Craftsman design.
This house was built in 1904 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 in 1927; however, the extent of the work undertaken at that time is not indicated.
Some of the windows appear to have been replaced. Railings have been added at the entry steps.
