This Craftsman cottage is one of three (615 & 619 20th Avenue) very similar cottages. This cottage conntains the least integrity of the three but is important as part of the whole. It offers us information about residential development in Seattle and it contibutes to the historic streetscape.
There is some indication that Max Schwartz may have developed these houses.
