Recently while helping out Historic Seattle with a landmark nominati on
presentation, I found myself with a huge collection of house photos used as neighborhood “historic relevance.” It gave me the idea to highlight here on VS those houses that aren’t for sale (and tour-able) but are worth noting. So I’ll just call it “House O The Week” and keep it informal on weekends.
First up is
731 16th Ave located in Squire Park. Yeah, I know I’ve been over-representing the CD — but hey, it’s where I used to live so I have all sorts of back-photos.
This 2 bed, 1 bath, 2070 sq ft home was built in
1904. The low-pitched symmetrical hipped roof, front entry, and wide porch put this one squarely in the Prairie Box category (a style indigenous to America popular from roughly 1900 to 1920). Click on the thumbnails for a larger photo.
