Style: Queen Anne Neighborhood: Central Area
Built By: Year Built: 1905
 
Significance
This is a good example of late 19th/early 20th century vernacular architecture. It contributes to our knowledge of the architectural and residential development of Seattle. It contributes to the historic streetscape. This house appears to be one of a builder's development along the west side of the 100 block of 23rd.
 
Appearance
This is a local interpretation of the Queen Anne style which is one of three variations located at the northwest corner of 23rd and Yesler Way. Much of its original detail is obscured by asbestos shingle siding and boarding over the windows (the house is vacant). The inset corner porch is pedimented and there is a bay window projection adjacent. Cross reference: 103 and 107 23rd Avenue.
