At this time, 540 was near the intersection of 5th Avenue and Yesler Way.

Probably built between 1900-1905, the Frances Boarding House was one of several residential hotels that lined Yesler Way in Seattle, WA, c. 1910.

This boxy, 2-story, Colonial Revival Style building occupied a steep hillside site at 504 Yesler Way. Its west facade revealed an exposed basement story. A central, front porch projected, sheltering the front entrance. Like many Colonial Revival houses, decorative urns trimmed the porch's roof. Clapboard siding echoed that of New England Colonial prototypes. The roof was hipped with a gabled dormer on the south facade and a hipped gable on the west.
