"This dwelling is part of the development along Fifth Street which
began in the early 1800's when it first became a major east/west
thoroughfare in Washington. A 2-story masonry dwelling is shown
on this lot on the 1926 Sanborn map. The dwelling with a 2-story
wood frame stable and a connected 1-story wood frame outbuilding
is shown on the 1916 Sanborn map. This lot is not shown on the
earlier Sanborn maps. A building is shown at this location on the
1915 Water Works Improvements Map. According to the 1919 atlas,
it is on the western portion of Lot 3 of Uhlenbrock's Addition.
"House is located in an urban neighborhood. At the rear is a 1-story masonry outbuilding." ~ Washington Historic Survey Part 1, phase IV, page 451
