Overview

This residence at 5269 17th Avenue NE had notable Mission Revival styling, making it relatively distinctive in the Seattle area. It occupied a corner lot on a grand boulevard, 17th Avenue NE, its median planted with horse chestnut trees that created a wide canopy of shade on both sides of the street. This boulevard was lined with large houses, some occupied by faculty members at the nearby University of Washington, others by students as shared housing. In 2018, the boulevard was one of the grandest neighborhoods in Seattle, although the area was plagued by periodic criminal activity at night.
