According to historian David Rash, Charles C. Dose designed this clubhouse for inhabitants of the Mount Baker Park Sub-division. J.C. Hunter, head of the Hunter Tract Improvement Company, began construction of the Mount Baker development in 1908. Rash dated this club house to 1914, although others place the date at 1909. (See David A. Rash, "Additional Significant Seattle Architects," in Shaping Seattle Architecture, Jeffrey Karl Ochsner, ed., (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1994), p. 342.) King County Parcel records corroborate Rash's 1914 construction date. Architectural historian Michael Houser credited the Mount Baker Community Club to the architects Ellsworth Storey (1879-1960) and Charles Lyman Haynes (1870-1949). (See "Charles L. Haynes 1870-1949,"
