This hip-roofed house, built in 1924, appears to have always had commercial uses on the first floor with apartments above. In 1937 it still had the original owner, Jennie C. D'Avila, and housed a café and a "dainty shop." The adjacent structure, built in 1929, has housed a tavern since the end of Prohibition, including Cecil Fish's beer parlor in the 1930s, Quinn's Tavern in the 1950s and Skipper's Tavern in the 1960s. and is currently a pizza restaurant. It is in largely intact condition.
This building was constructed during a period of extensive neighborhood development, especially along major streetcar routes. Eastlake Avenue was an important route, connecting downtown to the University District, first over the old Latona Bridge and later over the University Bridge, completed in 1919.

| Appearance |
| This complex consists of two adjacent building on the same parcel. The first, to the north, is a two-story hipped-roof vernacular house, whose major feature are the second-story windows. Three 8/1 sash are in the center of the second floor, flanked by a single similar window on each side. Similar windows are on each of the side elevations. The storefront is intact with a recessed, angled entries, wood doors and wood sash with large transom windows. Cladding is clapboard with brick pilasters on the first floor. The north elevation has wood stairs going to the second-floor apartments.
The second building is a small (17 foot wide) one-story structure with a gabled parapet clad with clapboard. This was built in 1929, five years after the larger building. The proportions and sizes of the windows and transom are the same as on the larger building. The two storefronts have been joined with brick pilasters. |
