| Significance |

|
This house sits high above the street on Lakeview Boulevard, which was once part of the Eastlake/Cascade community. Construction of the I-5 freeway in the 1960s caused the removal or demolition of many houses and other buildings, and erected a barrier between Lakeview and Eastlake. The steep hill to the east further isolates the narrow strip of houses. This house was built in 1919 and purchased by Peter Buschman in 1922. Although it seems a rather simple house, the 1937 assessor information mentions features such as all hardwood floors, fir woodwork and a tile fireplace. The shingles have recently been replaced in kind.

| Appearance |
| This house has a gable front and wing form, with wood shingle cladding. The prominent front gable end has wide bargeboards with the shingles curving out over the pent roof. It has a trio of tall narrow four-over-six windows with wood casing and a Colonial-style arch above. Below is a projecting bay with a bank of four four-over-one windows, also tall and narrow. Wood stairs with a shingle-clad balustrade run along the north side of this wing to the entry, which is in the angle of the ell. The rear wing also has multipaned windows, with a more horizontal orientation. The south elevation has a tall brick chimney and a large gabled dormer with three six-over-one windows. |
