This house was built in the dormered villa version of the pattern book style in 1906, but it also has some of the accents that might be seen on the Italian villa style.
The house enjoys a view of the State Historical Society building, Stadium High School and, over the top of the Stadium Bowl, Commencement Bay.
The narrative for the historic district states the following about the neighborhood:
The Stadium-Seminary Historic District is significant to the city of Tacoma as a sizeable, intact residential area which was the ultimate in fashion, particularly during its zenith between the turn of the century and the period of the First World War. Within its boundaries are several institutional buildings of monumental proportion as well as examples of nearly every residential style current in the Pacific Northwest between 1888 and 1930.
