| Appearance |
The design of the inset entry porch, the rectilinear bays with banded windows, and the exposed rafter tails (actually modillions) that characterized the structure in 1937 are all Craftsman features; however, the relatively steep slope of the roof, the delicate facias at the gable rakes, the pented gables, the separated windows in the gable ends, and the enclosed soffits are more typical of Queen Anne work.
This house was built in 1906 according to both the King County Property Record Card and the King County GIS Center Property Report.
A back porch appears to have been enclosed at an early date (or the structure was provided with a sunroom at an early date). There appears to be a deck addition at the rear. New horizontally oriented rectangular windows have been added in the gable peaks (their position suggests that the upper half-story has been remodeled). The entry steps have been rebuilt without the original sidewalls and with new railings. The soffis may have been rebuilt and the exposed rafter tails (modillions) are not longer quite as obvious. The chimney appears to have been altered.
