Appearance
This house was built in 1902 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 1924; however, the extent of the work undertaken at that time is not indicated.

The structure has functioned as a duplex since before 1937 but may not have always functioned in that manner. There are added or modified component of the plan at the back of the house and at the south elevation.
A metal fire escape has been added at the north elevation. The windows and siding appear original at the front of the house but are new at the remodeled areas. The duplex was clad with shakes for a time beginning in the early 1950s but the siding has since been returned its original appearance. Metal siding resembling the remaining clapboard siding has been installed at the remodeled areas at the back of the house and at the south elevation.
