This is a fairly elaborate example of a Georgian Revival house trimmed with terra cotta, called “one of the best on the block” in the 1937 assessor’s data. It was built in 1920; the first identified owner was Albert S. Quinn, who purchased it in 1936. This block is in Capitol Hill Division 6, at the eastern edge of Capitol Hill--the last of the plats of James Moore, the original developer of the neighborhood.
