Philip M. Isensee built this residence for himself in 1892. Architectural historians Woodbridge and Montgoemery in their A Guide to Architecture in Washington State (1980), felt that "...Isensee may have had a pattern book for this elegant house in a transitional style. The design has elements of both the earlier, more formal Italianate Style visible in the polygonal bays, bracketed cornice and doubled, rounded-headed gable windows and the Queen Anne Style suggested by the use of shingles and arched gable braces that were considered more rustic." (See Sally Woodbridge and Roger Montgomery, A Guide to Architecture in Washington State, [Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1980], p. 324.)
