Summary for 907 16TH AVE / Parcel ID 7234600056 / Inv # 0

Historic Name: Common Name: Style: Queen Anne Neighborhood: Central Area Built By: Year Built: 1901   Significance This is an example of transitional architecture incorporating Queen Anne characteristics but anticipating some elements of the Craftsman style. The structure's integrity has been compromised by the replacement of most of the windows. 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. BIBLIOGRAPHY King County GIS Center Property Report (http://www5.kingcounty.gov/kcgisreports/property_report.aspx; accessed August 19, 2008) King County Property Record Card (c. 1938-1972) Washington State Archives   Appearance This house and the structure next door at 909 16th Avenue are nearly identical (though the plans appear reversed) and were almost certainly built as a matched pair. (In the photos, the building on the left is the structure at 907 16th Avenue; the building on the right is the structure at 909 16th Avenue.) This structure appears to have function as a duplex for a period after 1937 but has since been returned to single family use. The porch roof has been converted from a flat roof to a shed roof.
