This building is notable as one of the last remaining example of the small multifamily structures that developed in the lower Queen Anne area between 1880 and 1910. These small buildings were precursors to the larger apartment buildings that began to appear around Queen Anne about the time this structure was built. This fourplex, built in 1906, has a simple but now unusual form, essentially two mirror-image Colonial-influenced townhouses with front gable roofs and bays. A similar building, with only two units, is just to the east. The building appears to be largely intact except that the windows have all been replaced with modern aluminum sash.

| Appearance |
| This fourplex has the form of two duplexes joined together. The roof has two front gables with a flat valley between. In each gable end is a louver, replacing the original lattice window; there is a scalloped bracket at the end of the eave on each side. A shed-roofed porch extends across the center of the first floor, connecting two gabled bays. The porch has two square columns, two entrances and wood stairways. Cladding is primarily clapboard with cornerboards and fishscale shingles in the gable ends. A cornice separates the materials, and there are also narrow belt courses below the windows on each floor and at the water table. The windows have been replaced with aluminum sash, set in the original wood surrounds. The west elevation has a small shingled eyebrow dormer. |
