A Seattle dentist, James W. Ball built this house in 1907; they resided here until 1919, when they sold it to Dr. Walter and Katherine Lippincott. The Lippincott's erected a garage on the property in 1921 in place of an existing stable. Well-to-do, the physician and his wife maintained several residences, and had rented 1405 4th Avenue by the late 1930s. Alfred and Enid Sobieranski owned the dwelling from about 1941-1957, selling it to Dee and Barbara Eberhart (1958-1963), who, in turn, sold it to Verle and Chloris Heisel who owned the property c. 1963-1975. The engineer Sanford S. Short owned the house from c. 1975-1996. Another owner bought the property in 1997 and set about renovating it.
