This house was designed in 1911 by Charles Haynes for Margaret Calvert. It was included in the 1913 edition of Homes and Gardens of the Pacific Coast (which was, however, published by a relative of the owner). It was also noted in the 1979 historic resources survey, which called it “very fine.” It is significant for its expression of the Prairie style with deep eaves, strong horizontal divisions and a stepper string course.
Charles A. Haynes practiced architecture in Seattle and Aberdeen, with various partners, from 1907 until 1940. He designed many residences, apartment houses and commercial buildings in both cities. One of the best known local examples of his work is the former Butterworth Mortuary on East Pine Street.
