Significance |
|
This initially appears to be an example of the Prairie style but was originally an eclectic combination of Queen Anne elements (including Free Classic and Shingle style elements) with a Craftsman style roof overhang, all applied to a foursquare scheme. The structure's integrity has been compromised by several plan changes and replacement of the original cladding system.
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 Seattleās 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.

Appearance |
This house was built as a single family residence but now functions as a duplex according to the King County GIS Center Property Report.
The building was remodeled in 1947 (Permit #356460); this renovation project apparently converted the structure from a duplex to a single family residence (according to an addition to the King County Property Record Card). More recently, a single story crenelated bay that once stood in the southern half of the street elevation has been removed and its place has been taken by a single cottage window. At some point, the structure was reconverted to duplex use. The original cladding has been replaced or covered with aluminum siding. The rafter tails were originally left exposed but the soffits were apparently enclosed when the cladding system was modified. The front steps have been rebuilt.The chimney has been altered.
